System Release 6.1 CompactPCI for Windows
®
Release Update 55
1.15 IP Multicast Client Support
IP Multicast client, which was supported in previous system releases, is now supported in
Dialogic
®
System Release 6.1 CompactPCI for Windows
®
on Dialogic
®
DM/IP Boards.
IP Multicast is a one-to-many protocol that provides a scalable solution that efficiently
uses network resources and bandwidth. Unlike IP Unicast, which requires X copies of
data to be transmitted from a source to each of X number of receivers, IP Multicast allows
a source to transmit only a single copy of the data being sent to multiple receivers.
Routers throughout the network intelligently forward the data only to those IP endpoints
that have requested it.
To enable IP Multicast client when starting a session, set the ipm_StartMedia( ) function
eDirection parameter to DATA_MULTICAST_CLIENT.
Note: Alternatively, you can set the ipm_SetRemoteMediaInfo( ) function eDirection
parameter to DATA_MULTICAST_CLIENT to enable IP Multicast client. However,
ipm_SetRemoteMediaInfo( ) is deprecated and is included in the library for backwards
compatibility only. Application developers should use the ipm_StartMedia( ) function
instead of ipm_SetRemoteMediaInfo( ).
Note: The ipm_ModifyMedia( ) function does not support the DATA_MULTICAST_CLIENT or
DATA_MULTICAST_SERVER direction mode. The session eDirection setting cannot be
modified once it is set.
The following limitations apply when implementing IP Multicast client:
• For dual span DM/IP Boards, the maximum supported number of simultaneous IP
media channels configured for Multicast client is limited to a TDM line (24 for T1 and
30 for E1).
• IP Multicast loopback (i.e., Multicast server and Multicast client channels on the same
DM/IP Board and configured for the same Multicast group) is not supported.

Code Example
The following code example shows how to start a Multicast client session. There is a
subtle difference in the way the API is used when starting a Multicast client session vs.
starting other types of IP sessions. When starting a Multicast client session, the IP
address and coder settings of the Multicast group are specified as the local RTP port and
local coder respectively. (When starting a Multicast server session, the IP address and
coder settings of the Multicast group are specified as the remote RTP port and remote
coder.)
