Multi casting text messages, is associated with terms such as:
  - pub/sub (publish and subscribe)
  - chat rooms
  - star vs ring topology
  - switching and routing
  - repeater
  - 1-M (1 to many)
  - M-N or M-M or N-M (many to many)

It is unlikely that any automatic 1-M mechanism, which is not
restricted to work only with known 'friend' nodes, would not be
immediately used to try to create DoS (denial of service) escalation
attacks.
  - DoS escalation attacks are however naturally mitigated in IQNets,
    since the primary (and preferred/ preferential service at network
    layer) mode of operation, is for nodes to connect to 'friend'
    nodes
  - if a friend node starts "behaving badly" by flooding me, they are
    automatically outside of the wheat/chaff negotiated links
    established, and thus are no longer friend nodes, but self
    evidently compromized nodes
