Explanation

IP multicast is a method of sending Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams to a group of interested receivers in a single transmission. It is often employed for streaming media applications on the Internet and private networks. The method is the IP-specific version of the general concept of multicast networking. Note: Sending the same data to multiple unicast addresses requires the sender to send all the data many times over, once for each recipient.
