## G

group
  A logical collection of players. DirectPlay supports groups within a session. By creating a group of players, an application can send a single message to the group, and all the players in the group will receive the message. A group is the means by which a network's multicast capabilities are exposed to the application.
  Groups can be used as a general means to organize players in a session. A player can belong to more than one group. DirectPlay provides methods for administering groups and their membership.
