|
| Multicast IP address | A destination multicast IP |
|
|
|
| address in the range 224.0.0.1 |
|
|
|
| to 239.255.255.255. The |
|
|
|
| multicast address depends on |
|

|

|
| the network. The default threshold is LAN |
|
|
|
| (TTL=32). The value “Subnet” (TTL=1) |
|
|
|
| means that packets do not pass the first |
|
|
|
| network router and should mean a multicast |
|
|
|
| stream is viewable on any network, even |
|
|
|
| those not enabled for multicast, where the |
|
|

| client is on the same subnet as the Content |

| The efficacy of higher values: LAN |
