    Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview Chapter 1 Multicast Overview 1.1 Introduction to Multicast As a technique coexisting with unicast and broadcast, the multicast technique effectively addresses the issue of point-to-multipoint data transmission. By allowing high-efficiency point-to-multipoint data transmission over a network, multicast greatly saves network bandwidth and reduces network load.
  • Page 7 Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview II. Broadcast In broadcast, the information source sends information to all hosts on the network, even if some hosts do not need the information, as shown in Figure 1-2.

    Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview I. ASM model In the ASM model, any sender can become a multicast source and send information to a multicast group; numbers of receivers can join a multicast group identified by a group address and obtain multicast information addressed to that multicast group.

  • Page 11: Multicast Addresses

    Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview Addressing mechanism: Information is sent from a multicast source to a group of receivers through a multicast address. Host registration: Receiver hosts are allowed to join and leave multicast groups dynamically.
  • Page 12 Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview The membership of a group is dynamic. Hosts can join or leave multicast groups at any time. A multicast group can be either permanent or temporary.
  • Page 13 Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview over an Ethernet network, however, a multicast MAC address is used as the destination address because the packet is directed a group with an uncertain number of members, rather than to one specific receiver.

    Operation Manual – Multicast Protocol H3C S3610&S5510 Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 Multicast Overview I. Multicast management protocols Typically, the internet group management protocol (IGMP) is used between hosts and multicast routers directly connected with the hosts. This protocol defines the mechanism of establishing and maintaining group memberships between hosts and multicast routers.
