Should not bind to all interfaces by default #330

Description

@jjlawren

Since the changes in #270/#188, the default behavior is to listen & broadcast on all available interfaces. Since we work with multicast, every other interface can see the broadcast. We end up reading our own sent packets which results in broadcast storms that overwhelm the host/network.

This is especially problematic on busy Docker hosts. In these setups each container will add another interface/bridge to the box which amplifies the issue.

This behavior can be overridden by explicitly choosing an interface when instantiating but this new default seems dangerous.
