27.Distance Vector Multicast Routing
Protocol (DVMRP) Commands
Sending data simultaneously to multiple destinations is called
"multicast" and used for music and video distribution.
DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) is one of
multicast routing protocols. It exchanges route information from the
distribution source to the distribution destination with adjacent routers
and manages the shortest route in a routing table like RIP.

This Switching Hub supports DVMRP version 3 and enables/disables DVMRP for each
interface.
DVMRP does not always have a fast transmission speed. Therefore, it is used in a
relatively low-bandwidth network where some delay is not a problem. If a high
transmission speed is required, consider using other multicast routing protocols such
as PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast routing).
