Overview
This is a UDP-based chat application that runs without a server.
Description
This UDP-based chat application runs without a server. This is accomplished via UDP multicast where chat clients multicast messages to other clients within range.

Communication is done on three ports: message send, message receive, and command ports.
The application has five main sections:
