IP multicast is a technique for one-to-many and many-to-many real-time communication over an IP infrastructure in a network. It scales to a larger receiver population by requiring neither prior knowledge of a receiver's identity nor prior knowledge of the number of receivers.

2024年12月17日 · IP multicast is an efficient communication method that allows a single sender to transmit data packets to multiple recipients simultaneously over an IP network, optimizing bandwidth usage and reducing network congestion.

2001年10月29日 · IP multicast addresses specify a "set" of IP hosts that have joined a group and are interested in receiving multicast traffic designated for that particular group.

2023年4月26日 · These multicast follow the internet protocol (IP) to transmit data. IP multicasting uses a mechanism known as ‘Multicast trees’ to transmit to information among the users of the network. Multicast trees; allows a single transmission to branch out to the desired receivers.

This article will cover IP multicast concepts, starting from the basics and continuing on to discuss the different types of multicast forwarding path trees and multicast routing protocols.

First of all, we use a designated range of IP addresses that is exclusively used for multicast traffic. We use the class D range for this: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
