If no, does Teams use multicast anywhere between speaker and receiver, or it’s all unicast? Same thing for online gaming. – do conference applications such as Microsoft Teams use multicast? If yes, how? my home gateway can’t handle multicast routing. So there must be multicast applications over the public internet, or at least between autonomous systems. Is that over the public connection? is some sort of overlay network (VPN) used in this scenario? some special hardware maybe?
– IPTV subscribers receive multicast content from the ISP. In practice, no ISP would ever allow that. – in theory you can send multicast on the public internet. It would be nice to have an article about the real uses of multicast on the public internet. The MQTT-SN protocol uses multi casting for broker/gateway discovery. If you are new to tcpdump then see this tcpdump tutorial MultiCasting and MQTT-SN Here is a screen shot from running tcpdump on a raspberry pi. The SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol) uses multicast address 239.255.255.250 on UDP port 1900. On a typical home network there are a variety of protocols that use multicast. If a router receives a multicast datagram from another network and has no members for that group address on any of it’s subnets it drops the packet. Multicast routers do not keep track of which hosts are part of a group, but only need to know if any hosts on that subnet are part of a group. using the multicast group address 224.0.0.1 (Reserved All hosts address). Routers will listen for IGMP messages and periodically send queries on the local subnet. On the Internet multicast packets need to be forwarded by routers.Ī router will determine if any of the hosts on a locally attached network are configured to receive multicast datagrams using IGMP( Internet Group Management Protocol). Note: Multicast packets are sent through switches.
Neither hosts or routers maintain a list of individual group members.Ī host can be part of multiple multicast groups and can send to multiple multicast addresses.Ī host can send datagrams to a multicast group address even though there are no members of that group, and a host doesn’t need to be a member of a group to send multicast datagrams to that group.
Multicast GroupsĪ host that is configured to receive datagrams sent to a multicast address becomes part of a multicast group for that address.Ī group can have 1 to an unlimited number of hosts. To receive a multicast message a host must be configured to receive on that multicast address.Īll hosts that are configured to receive packets on a particular address are part of a multicast group. Note: multicast uses UDP and are sent through switches and hubs. On a small home or office network any host can send and receive multicast datagrams. Many of the multicast addresses are reserved see Muticast Space Registry How Multicasting Works These addresses aren’t forwarded by routers. The addresses range between 224.0.0.0 and 224.0.0.255 is reserved for use by routing and maintenance protocols inside a network. IPv4 Multicast addresses use the reserved class D address range: 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255 A host must be configured to receive multicast messages.All hosts will receive broadcasts by default.Broadcast messages are not sent through routers but multicast messages are.Broadcasting uses a single IP address.Multicasting is different from IP broadcasting as: A group of hosts – Multicast -(UDP only).A single host – Unicast = (TCP and UDP).It is used mainly for audio (radio) and video distribution. What is IP Multicasting? -IP multicasting allows a host to send a single packet to thousands of hosts across a routed network i.e.
