Multicast Configuration

Multicasting is used to support real-time applications such as video
conferencing or streaming audio. A multicast server does not have
to establish a separate connection with each client. It merely
broadcasts its service to the network, and any hosts that want to
receive the multicast register with their local multicast switch/
router. Although this approach reduces the network overhead
required by a multicast server, the broadcast traffic must be
carefully pruned at every multicast switch/router it passes through
to ensure that traffic is only passed on the hosts which subscribed
to this service.
