IP multicast
All > Technology > Telecommunications
- A technique that allows packets to be simultaneously transmitted over the Mbone (multicast backbone on The Internet) to a selected set of destinations. Note: Standard Internet traffic requires a separate set of packets for each destination. IP multicast allows for one set of packets to be sent to multiple destinations.
