+      BibleSync is a multicast protocol to support Bible software
+      shared co-navigation. It uses LAN multicast in either a
+      personal/small team mutual navigation motif or in a classroom
+      environment where there are Speakers plus the Audience. The
+      library implementing the protocol is a single C++ class
+      providing a complete yet minimal public interface to support
+      mode setting, setup for packet reception, transmit on local
+      navigation, and handling of incoming packets.
