multicast streaming

Multicast streaming is a method of transmitting data, like a video or audio feed, to multiple recipients simultaneously over a network. Instead of sending individual copies to each user (as in unicast), multicast sends a single stream that many users can access at once. This makes it more efficient, especially for large groups, since it reduces the bandwidth needed and ensures everyone receives the same live content at the same time. It's commonly used for live broadcasts, conferences, or online gaming, optimizing resources while delivering consistent data to multiple viewers simultaneously.
