Wireless Multicast Forwarding
The Wireless Multicast Forwarding provides an efficient way to forward the
multicast traffic on the wireless medium and overcomes the multicast
transmission issues on WLAN using the repeated unicast of multicast frames.
multicast traffic on the wireless medium and overcomes the multicast
transmission issues on WLAN using the repeated unicast of multicast frames.
It uses IGMP frames to keep track of participating group members and multicast
packets are transmitted only to the interested members after unicast MAC
conversion.

With WMF, the data transfer is more reliable as the frames are sent as unicast and
robust transmission is possible as dynamic per station rate control can be done
based on the link errors and noise conditions.
