2.6 Unicast/Multicast MAC
This function includes three sub-pages
 MAC Address Table
 Add Uni/Multicast MAC
 Filter MAC.
Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic; this
section will explain what Multicast and Unicast are as well as their benefits, (Fig. 2.26).
- Unicast: This type of transmission sends messages to a single network destination
identified by a unique address. This method is simple but not widely used.
- Multicast: This type of transmission is more complicated. It sends messages from one
host to multiple hosts; only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will
receive the multicast. Also, networks that support multicast send only one copy of the
information across the network until the delivery path that reaches group members
diverges. At these diverging points, multicast packets will be copied and forwarded. This
method can manage high volume traffic with different destinations while using network
bandwidth efficiently.
