Sneak Peek

"Multicast is a one-to-one or more connection between multiple decoders and the source. The multicast source relies on multicast-enabled routers to forward the packets to all client subnets that have clients listening. There is no direct relationship between the decoders and the source, the decoders subscribe to a multicast group and the network ensures delivery of the stream. Each client that listens to the multicast adds no additional overhead on the server. The server sends out only one stream per source. The same load is experienced on the source whether only one client or 1,000 clients are listening."
