Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a protection technology for multicast transmission, in particular to a system and method for multicast source active / standby switching. Background technique
[0002] Multicast technology is a technology that can realize point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The basic characteristics of multicast technology are described in RFC1112. Multicast technology can be used to conveniently transfer multimedia audio and video data from For the transmission from the server to multiple clients, no matter how many clients there are, the server only needs to send it once. It can be seen that the multicast technology can not only save network resources, but also reduce the workload of the server.
