IP Multicast
Overview To fully realize the benefits of multimedia-capable desktop systems, network designers must begin to build their enterprise infrastructures to support standards-based IP Multicast applications. IP multicasting is the most efficient approach to delivering high-quality audio, video, and data simultaneously to many desktops. Using today's technology, companies can deliver streaming audio and video feeds to desktop systems within corporate campuses and over wide area links that consume a minimal amount of network bandwidth. Voice and video over IP can be delivered to a few desktops in a shared LAN environment. But effectively supporting IP Multicast traffic on all desktops in a campus environment requires a fully switched network infrastructure. IP Multicast applications run optimally in a fully switched environment and require switching to every desktop if all end stations participate in voice or video broadcasts.
