MULTICAST ROUTING

Multicast routing is a technology that aims to preserve bandwidth by delivering a single information flow to several recipients, potentially in a very large number (several thousands).
With IP multicast, simultaneous content can be delivered by using the least bandwidth possible and without overloading either the sender or receivers.

This distribution method is an advantage for applications such as video-conferencing, e-learning, stock market quotes, or video on demand.

NOTE
Static or dynamic multicast routing has priority over all other types of routing (static routing, dynamic routing, routing in a bridge, policy-based routing, etc).
