Sounds like a one-to-many application. And as such, I would ask
who are your anticipated receivers? Secondly, are those receivers
currently able to join multicast groups?
If your receiver population is not multicast enabled, then writing
a multicast application will be in vain unless you address the
extension of multicast to edge where your receivers reside.
