VIDEO - Multicast Streaming
If you intend to stream your live video to a group of hosts within a network, multicast streaming is the suggested method.
Multicast streaming permits the transmission of data (video) to a group of hosts in a network concurrently, with minimal
network traffic. To achieve this, you will require a switch that supports multicast streaming to transmit the video stream.
Additionally, clients need to be connected to this multicast switch to request the video stream from it. See the picture below:
Next to multicast, there is also unicast allowing you to stream video (via RTSP) to one single users IP address. For
more information read also Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast on the website.
