Multicast Pruning Examples:
Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be received only by radios with node-ids 1131 and
1261:
224.50.50.51, 1131, 1261
Data for multicast group 224.50.50.51 will be discarded at the transmitter and not put on the air:
224.50.50.51, -1

Local Broadcast
: Enable or Disable the Local Broadcast feature. The local broadcast mode can be
either single-hop or multi-hop. In single-hop mode, multicast traffic will be transmitted to all
radios reachable in a single hop. Traffic will terminate at these nodes. In multi-hop mode,
multicast traffic will reach all radios in the mesh, subject to IGMP/custom pruning if applicable.
MCS, and fragmentation threshold must be designated for these transmissions. Multicast Groups
is a list of multicast IPv4 addresses separated by comma (,), e.g. 224.50.50.50, 224.50.50.51.
Traffic for these multicast groups will be sent using Local Broadcast. Target latency will make the
node wait for the time set in parameter and collect all data and construct forward error correction
packets to send out. Higher latencies are better since the low density parity check code can
generate more robust codes resulting in better error correction on the receiver. Amount of Error
Correction is the amount of additional error correction packets sent along with the data packets.
