IP Multicast Functionality

In multicasting, a source application sends multicast traffic to a group destination address. The hosts interested in receiving this traffic join the specific group address by signaling their upstream devices. The routers then build a tree from the senders to the receivers and portions of the network that do not have receivers do not receive this potentially bandwidth-intense traffic. Examples of multicast applications include:

  • IPTV
  • Videoconferencing applications
  • Data center replication
  • Stock tickers
  • Routing protocols 

Note:    The first RIP version used broadcasting to send updates. RIPv2 and RIPng . . .
