The benefits of using IP multicast are that it Enables the simultaneous delivery of information to many receivers in the most efficient logical way Reduces the load on the source for example a server because it does not need to produce multiple copies of the same data Makes efficient use of network bandwidth and scales well as the number of participants or collaborators expands Works with other IP protocols and services such as Quality of Service QoS There are situations where a multicast approach is more logical and efficient than a unicast approach A typical use of multicasts is in video conferencing in which high volumes of traffic need to be sent to several end stations simultaneously but for which broadcasting that traffic to all end stations would seriously reduce network performance Besides several industrial automation protocols such as Allen Bradley EtherNet IP Siemens Profibus and Foundation Fieldbus HSE High Speed Ethernet use the multicast approach These industrial Ethernet protocols use publisher subscriber communications models by multicasting packets that could flood a network with heavy traffic IGMP provides the ability to prune multicast traffic so that it travels only to those end destinations that require the traffic thus reducing the amount of traffic on the Ethernet LAN 4 16 VPort 251 User s Manual System Configuration NOTE The network WITHOUT Multicast Group 2 Vide
