Broadcast Routing
We allow multiple identical streams to follow a trunk structure wherein we only branch to a client when needed. This keeps bandwidth usage down on a network's links.
Multicast Problem
Take the concept from the previous section, where we have a tree structure spread across a network.
Our goal here would be to create some tree where all the members for the data share the same tree. Also multicast groups get their own subnet class. This is to distinguish regular traffic from this multicast traffic[224.0.0.0].
