Overview:

This paper provides an introductory overview of IP Multicast. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with TCP/IP and networking in general. Traditional IP communications allow a host to send packets to another host (unicast transmissions) or to all hosts (broadcast transmissions). IP Multicast provides a third communication alternative: allowing a host to send packets to a group that is made up of a subset of the hosts on the network. IP Multicast is a bandwidth-conserving technology specifically designed to reduce traffic by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to potentially thousands of corporate recipients or homes.
