  2. IP multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_multicast

    The multicast tree construction is receiver driven and is initiated by network nodes that are close to the receivers. IP multicast scales to a large receiver population. The IP multicast model has been described by Internet architect Dave Clark as, "You put packets in at one end, and the network conspires to deliver them to anyone who asks." [5]

  3. Multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast

    Multicast: In multicast communication, data is sent from one source to multiple specific receivers, often to a defined group within a network. This is efficient in scenarios like live streaming, where the data is only sent once but received by multiple devices interested in the same content.

    MMDS microwave dish. Multichannel multipoint distribution service (MMDS), formerly known as broadband radio service (BRS) and also known as wireless cable, is a wireless telecommunications technology, used for general-purpose broadband networking or, more commonly, as an alternative method of cable television programming reception.

  6. Overlay network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlay_network

    The limited deployment of IP Multicast, a best-effort network layer multicast protocol, has led to considerable interest in alternate approaches that are implemented at the application layer, using only end-systems. In an overlay or end-system multicast approach, participating peers organize themselves into an overlay topology for data delivery.

  7. Protocol-Independent Multicast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocol-Independent_Multicast

    Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-to-many and many-to-many distribution of data over a LAN, WAN or the Internet.

  8. U-verse TV - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U-verse_TV

    Transmissions use digital H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) encoding, compared to the existing deployments of MPEG-2 codec and the discontinued analog cable TV system. The receiver box does not have a RF tuner, but is an IP multicast client that requests the channel or "stream" desired. U-Verse TV supports up to four/six active streams at once, depending on ...

  9. Clos network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clos_network

    Assume that there is a free terminal on the input of an ingress switch, and this has to be connected to a free terminal on a particular egress switch. In the worst case, n−1 other calls are active on the ingress switch in question, and n−1 other calls are active on the egress switch in question. Assume, also in the worst case, that each of ...
