+ * This class derives from @ref KDatagramSocket adding methods to it to
+ * allow better control over the multicast functionality. In special,
+ * the join and leave group functions are added.
+ *
+ * Other more low-level options on multicast sockets can be accessed
+ * directly with the @ref KMulticastSocketImpl class returned by
+ * @ref multicastSocketDevice.
