Multicast

Multicast (many-to-many or one-to-many distribution) is the term used to define communication where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points (From one or multiple servers to set of multiple clients). The senders (Servers) and receivers (Clients) are one or more. Multicast streaming delivers data to more than one sources at the same time, create copies only when the links to the multiple destinations split. Most of the time, Multicast is used to speak about IP multicast (used in the Internet TV solutions and streaming media sector).

In the context of secure live streaming, multicast technology offers several advantages, particularly when it comes to efficiently delivering high-quality video content to a large audience. By leveraging multicast protocols, service providers can ensure that streams are delivered simultaneously to multiple users without overwhelming the server resources. Additionally, implementing robust encryption methods during multicast streaming enhances the security of live broadcasts, safeguarding the content from unauthorized access and ensuring that viewers can enjoy a seamless experience without compromising data integrity. This makes secure live streaming an attractive option for businesses and organizations looking to engage with audiences while maintaining control over their content distribution.
