In computer networking, multicast enables a single source to send information (data or streaming media) to multiple destinations simultaneously. Unlike broadcast transmission, which sends data to all network nodes, multicast only sends data to the nodes that have requested it by joining certain types of multicast group. This group consists of an IP address and a port number, which is used by the sending node to identify the receivers in the group.
