Multicast Services for IP Triple-Play Networks

Tags:
multicasting

Overview 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.

Is the game up for ISDN?

ADSL, on the other hand, slows down to 16Kbps upstream and 2Mbps downstream over the same distance - although it is rare for the splitters in the local exchange to be that far away from the receivers in the users' premises.
