The NETGEAR ProSafe Managed Multicast component is best suited for video and audio
traffic requiring multicast packet control for optimal operation. The Multicast component
includes support for IGMPv2 and IGMPv3. Communication from point to multipoint is called
multicasting. The source host (point) transmits a message to a group of zero or more hosts
(multipoint) that are identified by a single IP destination address. Although the task can be
accomplished by sending unicast (point-to-point) messages to each of the destination hosts,
multicasting is the more desirable method for this type of transmission. A multicast message
is delivered to all members of its destination host group with the same best-efforts reliability
as regular unicast IP messages. The message is not guaranteed to arrive intact at all
members of the destination group or in the same order relative to other messages.
