Multicast Filtering

Multicasts are similar to broadcasts, they are sent to all end stations on a LAN or
VLAN. Multicast filtering is the function, which end stations can receive the multicast
traffic if the connected ports had been included in the specific multicast groups. With
multicast filtering, network devices only forward multicast traffic to the ports that are
connected to the registered end stations.
