Multicast IP address

 

 

A destination multicast IP

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

address in the range 224.0.0.1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to 239.255.255.255. The

This value tells the network how far

multicast packets should be allowed to travel

LAN (TTL=32). The value ―Subnet‖ (TTL=1)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

means that packets do not pass the first
