multicast

listen to the pronunciation of multicast
İngilizce - İngilizce
Having multiple targets, such that a call to the delegate triggers a call to each target

The result is a new multicast delegate that invokes both of the original implementing methods.

The simultaneous transmission of data to several destinations on a network
(Bilgisayar) In computer networking, multicast is the delivery of a message or information to a group of destination computers simultaneously in a single transmission from the source creating copies automatically in other network elements, such as routers, only when the topology of the network requires it
To send messages to multiple tasks See also broadcast
One host multicasts when it wants multiple machines (typically on a WAN) to receive the packet or information See also anycast, broadcast, unicast
A one-to-many connection in which multiple clients can receive the same stream from a server To receive a multicast, a client must have access to a multicast-enabled network In contrast, a unicast is a one-to-one connection in which one client receives a distinct stream from a server
A packet with a special destination address which multiple nodes on the network may be willing to receive See also: broadcast, unicast
Multicast (point-to-multipoint) is a communication pattern in which a source host sends a message to a group of destination hosts Although, this can be done by sending different unicast (point-to-point) messages to each of the destination hosts, there are many reasons which make having the multicasting capability desirable The first major advantage of using multicasting is the decrease of the network load
A process of transmitting messages from one source to many destinations
{i} simultaneous broadcast to several work stations
To transmit a message to a select group of recipients A simple example of multicasting is sending an e-mail message to a mailing list Teleconferencing and videoconferencing also use multicasting, but require more robust protocols and networks Standards are being developed to support multicasting over a TCP/IP network such as the Internet These standards, IP Multicast and Mbone, will allow users to easily join multicast groups Note that multicasting refers to sending a message to a select group whereas broadcasting refers to sending a message to everyone connected to a network The terms multicast and narrowcast are often used interchangeably, although narrowcast usually refers to the business model whereas multicast refers to the actual technology used to transmit the data
To simultaneously send the same message to a list of recipients on a network
A form of broadcast where copies of a packet are delivered only to a subset of all possible destinations
Means of sending a piece of information from one device on a network to many
The transmission of information over the Internet to two or more users at the same time
Special form of broadcast in which copies of the packet are delivered to multiple stations, but only a subset of all possible destinations
A special form of broadcast where copies of the data sent by a host are delivered to a subset of the hosts attached to the network
A process in which a single network packet may be addressed to multiple recipients Multicast is used, for example, in streaming video, in which many megabytes of data are sent over the network
A packet or transmission destined for more than one location; a limited form of broadcast
A multicast is a message that is sent out to multiple devices on the network by a host
Transmitting messages to a select group of recipients in a network In the DirecPC world, this select group of recipients is called a community
An address for a selection of nodes in a network, or the message sent to a selection of nodes
an Internet technology for transmitting data simultaneously to many receivers without the need to replicate the data
(n ) To send a message to many, but not necessarily all possible recipient processes See also broadcast, process group
A packet with a special destination address which multiple nodes on the network may be willing to receive
Single packets copied by the network and sent to a specific subset of network addresses These addresses are specified in the Destination Address Field Compare with broadcast and unicast
A message that is sent out to multiple devices on the network by a host Multicasts are generally sent at specified intervals to avoid cluttering the network, and in the case of LAT, contain the name of the host sending them as well as information about what LAT services that host provides
A transmission initiated by one station to many stations on the network
One host multicasts when it wants multiple machines (typically on a WAN) to receive the packet or information

(Computers) protocol used for sending multicast transmissions over a network or IP (allows significant savings on network bandwidth), DVMRP
