Huawei MA5600T Multicast Feature Glance

Definition

Huawei MA5600T Multicast is group communication where data is addressed to a  group of destination hosts simultaneously. Each multicast address represents a  multicast group and all hosts in a multicast group can receive the same data.  Multicast applies in IPTV, multimedia conferencing, and gaming services. Value Reduces bandwidth overheads Each link carries at most one copy of the same multicast data, maximally reducing  bandwidth overheads. Decreases load Transmitting data in multicast mode decreases video server's and CPU's load and does not significantly increase network's load even if the number of users increases. Prolongs transmission distance Multicast packets can be transmitted across network segments, implementation long-distance transmission for large-scale data. Prolongs transmission distance Multicast packets can be transmitted across network segments,implementing long-distance transmission for large-scale data. Application Multicast applies in the following scenarios: FTTB/FTTC, Huawei FTTH, FTTO,  as well as Huawei OLT user ports connecting to multicast users.
