Document Summary

Optimization is a critical design step for organization that high-bandwidth and delay sensitive applications. One of the main reasons optimization techniques are required on internetworks is the increasing use of high-bandwidth, multiple-user, multimedia applications: such as video conferencing, collaborative computing and distance learning. The ietf has developed several ip multicast standards that optimize the transmission of multimedia and other types of traffic across an internetwork. Ip multicast technologies, can be used by universities, businesses and other organizations and computer-simulation applications. Ip multicasting transmits ip data to a group of hosts that is identified by a single class d. Ip address: host group addresses range from 224. 0. 0. 0 to 239. 255. 255. 255. Network stations recognize an address as being a class d address because the first 4 bits must be 1110 in binary. A multicast group is also identified by a mac layer multicast address.
