Configuring IP Multicasting and Multimedia Services

Multicast Host Groups
IP multicasting is a method for addressing, routing, and delivering a datagram to a
collection of receivers -- called a
host
group
.
Host groups can be permanent or transient.
A
permanent host group
has a well-known, administratively assigned IP
multicast group address. The address, not the membership, is permanent and
defines the group. A permanent host group can consist of zero or more
members.
A
transient host group
exists only as long as it has members that need its
services. IP addresses in the multicast range that are not reserved for
permanent groups are available for dynamic assignment to transient host
groups.
Any host system on any IP network can send a message to a multicast group using
the group’s IP multicast address. To receive a message addressed to a multicast
group, however, the host must be a member of the group and must reside on a
network where that group is registered with a local multicast router.
An IP multicasting host group can consist of zero or more members and places no
restrictions on its membership. Host members can reside anywhere; they can join
and leave the group at any time; and they can be members of more than one group
at the same time. In order to receive a multicast message from a host group, a host
must be a member of the group. However, anyone can send a multicast datagram:
a host does not need to be a member of a group to send a multicast message to its
members.
In general, hosts that are members of the same group reside on different networks.
However, a range of multicast addresses (224.0.0.
x
) is reserved for groups that are
locally scoped. All message traffic for these hosts remains on the local network.
Hosts that belong to a group in this address range and that reside in different
networks will not receive each other’s message traffic.
Note:
Multicast data packets are affected by traffic filters. Therefore, you must
ensure that traffic filters configured on a multicast router do not prevent a host
that is a member of a group from receiving packets intended for that group.
