Digital Signage 
Window Cleaning I’ve been reading some techie docs lately on the power of data multicasting. Yes, I know it sounds incredibly boring, but it’s a valuable asset to have in the digital signage industry. In fact, there are only a handful of companies within digital signage that currently specialize in data multicast technology. To remain competitive, some will require adaptation and continuous engineering going forward. Many customers are asking for it, hence the education.
What is Data Multicasting?
Multicasting involves a one-to-many or many-to-many relationship and allows for increases in efficiency in use of network resources when it comes to packet distribution. Multicasting can use the following protocols: MOSPF, CBT, IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, and BGMP.
Multicasting can be used in the following applications:
- Network Configuration
- Content Distribution
- Shared Apps:
- Information Distribution
- Multipoint Distribution: which includes, but is not limited to anycasting, unitcasting, and broadcasting.
