Multicast Errors
Displays the total count of multicast errors per Zone. A multicast error is an indication that a viewer switched from a multicast stream to a unicast stream for viewing the Webcast.
What to expect?
Under normal circumstances if a Zone and its underlying network has been configured for Vbrick or flash multicast is enabled, then one should expect that a good proportion of the total attendees would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream, so would expect a small number of multicast error events. enabled, then one should expect that a good proportion of the total attendees would be consuming a multicast stream and a smaller number to be consuming a unicast stream, so would expect a small number of multicast error events.
How can this information be used?
A high number may be an indication that the multicast setup for the network may not be configured correctly.
