Multicast technology working towards quality IP broadcasting.

Naino wants to furnish all IP networks with multicast, an open and standardised technology, for the following reasons :

On the content provider level :
 

- To realise broadcast quality audio-visual transmission on an IP network

- To encourage distribution to very large audiences

- To offer new service opportunities and make programmes profitable

On a technical level:
 

- To optimise network resources and reduce bandwidth costs

- To optimise server resources and reduce the acquisition and operating costs of the distribution platforms (light solutions)

- To prevent servers from becoming overloaded and/or inaccessible

- To guarantee a quality service-level for the broadcast of audio-visual content

- To offer better resource management to the network service provider

Naino implements multicast technology on a network to allow very high quality content to be broadcast simultaneously to all those who wish to see it. To do this the server need only be accessed once and only one data stream need be used, regardless of the number of users.

If any one user in any part of the network does not want to receive the content, that part of the network will be unused.

BROADCAST OF A STREAM WITH MULTICAST

Multicast broadcasting: a single packet is copied and sent to all those who wish to receive it without encumbering the entire network.For more information on the multicast, click here..

What was impossible with unicast is possible with multicast: for more information on the differences between multicast and unicast,click here.
