Looks pretty clean..

I've never worked with Rondevouz, I understand it's something like a
link-local multicast version of portmap?

I see that it requires linking against an external library, how is that
library licensed?  Are there unix versions of that library available as
well? (the zip only contains a windows .lib file)

More imporatantly, do you have a link to the site you got that library from?
(Save the rest of us some googling)

It sounds like something that would fit nicely into PECL.  Be sure to bring
it up within that forum.

Interfaces are numbered from 1 then?  Would it make sense to use a "Network
Device Friendly Name" under windows? (performing the lookup silently using
Win32API calls)  That might not be a wonderful idea as there's not much in
the way of POSIX standardization when it comes to mapping unix interface
names to interface numbers...
