I would look into trying to fix those IOCs so that they are configured with
the right subnetmask, which (unless they're actually in a different IP subnet)
is all you *should* have to do for their broadcasts to be seen.
Within the context of a single client you could just delete and then re-
connect and subscribe to any one of the disconnected channels, which won't
affect the rest of the program since by definition the channel isn't live. If
there are no disconnected channels then there's obviously no need to do this,
so the issue should be self-regulating.

Optimization is the process of taking something that works and
replacing it with something that almost works, but costs less.
