Multicast is a method of data transmission used in Best IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) that allows a single stream of data to be sent to multiple users simultaneously. Unlike traditional broadcasting, where signals are sent to all receivers in a given area regardless of whether they want the content, multicast specifically targets users who have requested the stream.
This is achieved through the use of multicast IP addresses, which facilitate efficient data distribution over a network.
In a multicast setup, the IPTV service provider sends out a single video stream that is replicated by routers and switches in the network. As a result, the bandwidth usage is significantly reduced, allowing multiple viewers to access high-quality video content without overwhelming the network. This is particularly advantageous during peak viewing times when many users might be watching the same program.
