Multicast

Multicast is a technique that allows networking devices to send data to a group of interested receivers in a single transmission. For instance, this technique is widely used for streaming videos. Multicast allows you to more efficiently use network resources, specifically for bandwidth-consuming services such as audio and video transmission.

OS10 supports the multicast feature in IPv4 networks and uses the following protocols for multicast distribution:

  • Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
  • Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM)
