![]() How great would it be if we could have that for television? Tune to channel five, you join the multicast group for channel five that tells your Internet service provider to start feeding you down the video stream for channel five so you can watch whatever you like to watch. Send out a video stream to the subscribers. It’s going to be less of a battle in IPv6 because it’s inborn in the protocol natively. ![]() Multicast routing, I can do it, but it is a battle. It’s extraordinarily challenging to work with, at least for me. Multicast was built in to IPv4 retroactively by a guy named Steve Deering and he was crippled by his boss, who won’t be named, and that along with the fact that it was very new conceptually means that multicast is funky in IPv4. Unicast is one to one, nothing new there. Some of these you will be very familiar with, but some of these may be a little awkward to us. So, let’s dive in here deeper now and let’s discuss what we have in regards to address type for IP version 6. ![]() Much more efficient use of our network resources by using multicast for the majority of tasks that originally required broadcast with IP version 4. So you might be saying, wooh, okay, we’ve eliminated broadcast then what happens to all that traffic that relies on broadcast with IP version 4? How does that exist in an IP version 6 environment? Majority of it uses multicast now. IP version 6, no broadcast address type whatsoever. You should be seeing broadcast right now.
