Increasingly, customers are relying on IP broadcasting to bring enhanced value to a broad new spectrum of platforms and applications - interactive videoconferencing, digital TV, digital audio, online movies and concerts, networked gaming, Internet-enabled PDAs and home appliances, content synchronization, and broadband access. Multicast is a well-established bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces traffic by allowing a host to send packets to a subset of all hosts as a group transmission instead of having to send packets to every single user. IP Multicast delivers application source traffic to multiple receivers without burdening the source or the receivers while using a minimum of network bandwidth and enabling easily scalable and economical distributed applications.
