What are multicast boundaries?
Posted by mcsenow on March 6, 2010 in Uncategorized |
Multicast boundaries are administrative barriers to the forwarding of IP multicast traffic. Without boundaries, an IP multicast router forwards all appropriate IP multicast traffic. Administrators can create multicast boundaries by a range of IP addresses known as a multicast scope, by the value of the Time to Live (TTL) field in the IP header, or by the rate of multicast traffic.
