What Is Multicast?
Multicast is the most efficient way to securely stream live video. It’s a one-to-many communication protocol that reduces network traffic when transmitting large amounts of data. A single video stream is sent to everyone in your audience without requiring any additional bandwidth than is needed for one viewer.
When to Use a Multicast eCDN
Vbrick has flexible video modalities to create the most optimal eCDN architecture for your enterprise. Multicast is an ideal solution if:
- Live streaming events are a priority
- You need network stability and bandwidth use predictability
- You want to deliver higher quality videos at overall lower bitrates (across the network)
- You have an existing multicast network to leverage
