multicast

I have been given a task to reasearch multicasting, specifically with the
transmission of streaming media.
I honestly have no clue about what multicating is and more so how or when to
implement it.

Could someone point me to a few good resources, or shed some insight?

I remember I found good study materials on multicast on Cisco's site
before. Can't give you any specific pointers, but check there. They use to
have lots of free info, not only specifically about their products.

Make a search for the Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) too. As far as I
know, it's specific too Real Networks products, but I've found plenty of
background info in the docs about RTSP.

Hi Ron,

Multicasting is a one-to-many form of transmission that sends data to a
group of users. Multicasting saves network bandwidth because the files are
transmitted as a single data stream until the last hop, where individual
streams are sent to the target stations by the router at the end of the
path.

For more information, please refer to:
