Multicast
Multicast information exchange is performed between a source (publisher) and
one or more destinations (subscribers). For the IEC 61850 protocol, this is known
as GOOSE and GSSE messages. See the ACSI Service Conformance
Statement later in this document, with the AA (Application Association) column
marked with MC (Multicast).

5.5.2 DATA-SET
The DATA-SETs are important for Buffered Report Control Blocks (BRCBs),
Unbuffered Report Control Blocks (URCBs), and GOOSE Control Blocks. These
Report Control Blocks (RCBs) reference a DATA-SET to know what data to send
to the IEC 61850 Client. For some IEDs, the DATA-SET may be:
 Static
 Dynamic
 Optionally not reported in its entirety
This variability is based on features of specific IEDs. ProSoft ProSoft 61850
Configuration Manager does not allow you to dynamically create a DATA-SET on
the IED.
The definition of a DATA-SET is the group of Data Attributes that make up the
DATA-SET. DATA-
SETs (if they exist) are defined as part of the IED’s
configuration, as provided by the IED manufacturer.
