  Group (G): A normal group; the single name may exist with many IP
addresses.  WINS  responds  to  a  name query on a group name with the
limited broadcast address (255.255.255.255). Because routers block the
transmission  of  these  addresses, the Internet Group was designed to
service communications between subnets.
