IP Multicast Routing Overview
IP multicast routing is a function that allows a single IP host to send a packet to a group of IP hosts.
This group of hosts can include devices that reside on the local network, within a private network, or
outside of the local network.
IP multicast routing consists of the following functions:
•
A router that can forward IP multicast packets.
•
A router-to-router multicast routing protocol (such as Protocol Independent Multicast- Sparse Mode
(PIM-SM).
•
A method for the IP host to communicate its multicast group membership to a router (for example,
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)).
