WHAT DOES MULTICAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Multicast

In computer networking, multicast is group communication where information is addressed to a group of destination computers simultaneously. Multicast should not be confused with physical layer point-to-multipoint communication. Group communication may either be application layer multicast or network assisted multicast, where the latter makes it possible for the source to efficiently send to the group in a single transmission. Copies are automatically created in other network elements, such as routers, switches and cellular network base stations, but only to networks segments that currently resides members of the group. Network assisted multicast may be implemented at the Internet layer using IP multicast, which is often employed in Internet Protocol applications of streaming media, such as Internet television scheduled content and multipoint videoconferencing, but also for ghost distribution of backup disk images to multiple computers simultaneously. In IP multicast the implementation of the multicast concept occurs at the IP routing level, where routers create optimal distribution paths for datagrams sent to a multicast destination address.
