public abstract class MulticastService
extends Service

This class models a Service using multicast connectivity for both its ServiceProvider and ServiceRequester. It groups the common properties of Services using multicast communication. Note: a Service is not required to use any particular communication API, this class is models one type of communication but it is the programmer's responsibility to pick up the right communication model for his service. As long as the concrete service extends or instantiate the Service class the RelateGateways system and UI will handle and export it correctly.
