Multicast Forwarding Overview

Multicast forwarding enables one-to-many information dissemination. Multicast applications

are useful for dissemination of information to multiple clients, where clients do not require

reception of the entire content. A typical application is a cable-TV-like service, where clients

can join a channel in the middle of a transmission, and leave before it ends.

The data is sent only to relevant ports. Forwarding the data only to the relevant ports conserves

bandwidth and host resources on links.

By default, all Multicast frames are flooded to all ports of the VLAN. It is possible to

selectively forward only to relevant ports and filter (drop) the Multicast on the rest of the ports

by enabling the Bridge Multicast filtering status in the Properties page.
