It's a bit wierd. For multicast, in general, you have to join a group
(224.0.0.1 in this case, which is multicast broadcast) to recieve messages
for it. I imagine (without having disassembled the packet) that it's a
membership query. Basically the server is asking your machine if it
is a group member. Which is wierd, because unless NTL have some special
setup you shouldn't be recieving multicast packets.
