Multicast address is an IP address used by systems to send data to a group of hosts on a computer network. It is used in IP multicast, a method of one-to-many communication over an IP infrastructure. Multicast addresses are distinguished from normal unicast addresses by their use of the prefix 224.0.0.0/4, which is the same as the 224.0.0.0/8 prefix used for multicast traffic.
