This manual chiefly focuses on the IP multicast technology and device operations. Unless
otherwise stated, the term “multicast” in this document refers to IP multicast.

EA boards (such as LSQ1GP12EA and LSQ1TGX1EA) do not support IPv6 features
Introduction to Multicast
As a technique coexisting with unicast and broadcast, the multicast technique effectively addresses the
issue of point-to-multipoint data transmission. By allowing high-efficiency point-to-multipoint data
transmission over a network, multicast greatly saves network bandwidth and reduces network load.
With the multicast technology, a network operator can easily provide new value-added services, such
as live Webcasting, Web TV, distance learning, telemedicine, Web radio, real-time videoconferencing,
and other bandwidth- and time-critical information services.
Comparison of Information Transmission Techniques
Unicast
In unicast, the information source (Source in the figure) needs to send a separate copy of information to
each host (Receiver in the figure) that wants the information, as shown in
Figure 1-1
