17.4 “Multicast” gateway
Internet Protocol multicast is a bandwidth-conserving technology that
reduces traffic by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information
to thousands of corporate recipients.
Thus, the multicast gateway must be used when
• a serial master device has to send requests to multiple slave devices;
that devices can be IP or serial devices.
• Or when an IP master device (client) has to send requests to multiple
slave devices; that devices can be IP or serial devices.
