Multicast5.5
Multicasting offers the possibility to send data packets to more than one destination ad-
dress – without multiplying bandwidth and number of receivers on sender side. The data
is sent out to an intelligent network node, an IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
capable switch or router and distributed to the receiver group.
On Baumer Gigabit Ethernet cameras, multicast is used to process image and message
date separately – on e.g. two different PC's.
