Network Shared Variables & Broadcast/Multicast

From what I understand, when you write to a Network Shared Variable (NSV) it is sent to a server-service that sends it out to Listener applications using TCP/IP. I assume this means that as the number of network Listeners increases, the number of times the same message must be sent also increases. Such that the time-difference between when the first listener gets a message to the last could be significant.

 

IF this is so, is there a way to configure the NSV server-service to use Broadcast or UDP Multicast to send out a message instead?

 

I want to use NSV's, but i am nervous as I do not know how many Listeners there eventually could be. Using explicit UDP Multicast may be my only alternative approach.

 

Thanks
