Note Specify a peer address if the RS is handling VC-mux encapsulated traffic.
In the following example, a connection is established between a video server and three video clients (Video Client 1,
Video Client 2, and Video Client 3). The video server routes data through the RS to the video clients. Traffic passes to
the video clients through three separate virtual channels. Each virtual channel has a unique service profile.
In addition, the RS is transmitting VC-mux encapsulation traffic. Peer address mapping is used to associate a particular
destination address with each VC. This allows the RS to route traffic to a specific client without multicasting to every
virtual channel.
