Multicast (point-to-multipoint) is a communication feature that allows a source host to send a message to a group of destination hosts. Multicasting reduces traffic on the local network by sending only one (multicast) packet out to a higher-bandwidth relay point.

Multicasting differs from broadcasting in that a receiver must join a multicast group in order to receive group messages. Each multicast group has its own group address, which is a Class D IP address—224.0.0.0— 239.255.255.255.
