Managing IPv4 and IPv6 Multicast

This chapter describes how to configure and monitor layer 3 multicast 

features for IPv4 and IPv6, including global IP and IPv6 multicast features as 

well as multicast protocols, including IGMP, DVMRP, and PIM for IPv4 and 

MLD and PIM for IPv6.
The topics covered in this chapter include:

L3 Multicast Overview

IP Multicasting enables a network host (or multiple hosts) to send an IP 

datagram to multiple destinations simultaneously. The initiating host sends 

each multicast datagram only once to a destination multicast group address, 

and multicast routers forward the datagram only to hosts who are members of 

the multicast group. Multicast enables efficient use of network bandwidth 

because each multicast datagram needs to be transmitted only once on each 

network link, regardless of the number of destination hosts. Multicasting 

contrasts with IP unicasting, which sends a separate datagram to each 

recipient host. The IP routing protocols can route multicast traffic, but the IP 

multicast protocols handle the multicast traffic more efficiently with better 

use of network bandwidth.
