41 IP Multicast Switching
Commands
IP Multicast Switching (IPMS) is a one-to-many communication technique employed by emerging appli-
cations such as video distribution, news feeds, conferencing, netcasting, and resource discovery). Unlike
unicast, which sends one packet per destination, multicast sends one packet to all devices in any subnet-
work that has at least one device requesting the multicast traffic.
