Before it would always use the first socket, and always send an IPv4 broadcast packet. That
works fine in a lot of situations, but it is better to try all sockets, and to send IPv6 packets
on IPv6 sockets. This is especially important for users that are on IPv6-only networks or that
have multiple physical network interfaces, although in the latter case it probably requires
them to use the ListenAddress variable to create a separate socket for each interface.
