Multicast Overview

Multicast is a point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint com-
munication mode. Multiple receivers can synchronously receive
the same message from one source. The applications based on
multicast include video conference, distance learning and software
distribution.
Multicast protocol consists of the group member management pro-
tocol and the multicast routing protocol. The group member man-
agement protocol is applicable to management of the joining or
leaving of multicast group members. Multicast routing protocol is
responsible for the establishment of a multicast tree by exchang-
ing information between routers. Multicast routing protocol can
be divided into the intra-area multicast routing protocol and the
inter-area multicast routing protocol.
