V3 allows a stream to only be active once it is requested The first client activates the stream IGMP join the next client can easily connect to the stream and the last client leaving the stream deactivates it IGMP Leave Thus the network will only be loaded with the streams that are required In principle the network components must support IGMP V3 Some switches WLAN routers can let IGMP V3 through on all ports Other switches ignore the protocol and do not let it through If one permanently streams into a wireless network whose components do not support IGMP V3 and so transmit the multicast packets then a WLAN network is quickly overloaded For example an AVM Fritz box 7390 supports IGMP V3 and allows multicast into the LAN network by default but blocks it from WLAN networks This enables normal function to remain possible Therefore it is important that the Octopus NET itself can easily separate the wireless networks from the other networks With permanent streaming it is possible to optionally adjust by selecting which 5 ports of the integrated switch the stream is output through The Octopus NET is able to support a total of 12 simultaneous streams It should be noted Either one is streaming a complete transponder consumes 1 stream or it is segmented so that only certain channels of a transponder can be streamed In this case each TV channel consumes a stream Some receivers cannot manage fully streamed transponders The software h
