| comp., MS | distance vector multicast routing protocol | Distance Vector Multicast Routing-Protokoll (An Internet routing protocol that provides an efficient mechanism for connectionless datagram delivery to a group of hosts across an Internet network. It is a distributed protocol that dynamically generates IP multicast delivery trees using a technique called Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM)) |
| commun., IT | group multicast destination service access point address | Group-Multicast Service-Zutrittspunktadresse |
| commun., IT | group multicast DSAP address | Group-Multicast Service-Zutrittspunktadresse |
| comp. | Internet multicast backbone | Mbone |
| comp. | Internet multicast backbone | Multicast-Backbone |
| gen. | multicast address | Multicast-Adresse |
| gen. | multicast address | Gruppenadresse |
| comp., MS | Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol | Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation-Protokoll (An extension to the DHCP protocol standard used to support dynamic assignment and configuration of IP multicast addresses on TCP/IP-based networks) |
| comp., MS | multicast address resolution service | Multicast Address Resolution Service (A service for resolving multicast IP addresses to the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) addresses of the clients that have joined that multicast group. MARS can work in conjunction with the multicast server (MCS) and clients to distribute multicast data through point-to-multipoint connections) |
| comp. | multicast backbone | Mbone (network) |
| comp. | multicast backbone | Multicast-Backbone (network) |
| comp., MS | Multicast Client Auto Removal | Automatisches Entfernen von Multicastclients (Ability to automatically remove a client from a multicast group (usually a client with lower bandwidth - to be served via unicast deployment), have it join a different multicast group or to terminate deployment) |
| comp., MS | multicast delivery | Multicastübermittlung (A method for delivering notifications that formats a notification once and sends the resulting message to multiple subscribers) |
| comp., MS | multicast discovery | Multicastermittlung (The discovery of resources or devices on the local subnet) |
| comp., MS | multicast-enabled network | Multicast-Netzwerk (A network that has routers that can interpret Class D IP addresses) |
| comp., MS | multicast heartbeat | Multicasttakt (A message sent by nodes in a cluster to continuously maintain communication between cluster nodes. The multicast heartbeat detects and communicates a failure within the cluster. Using a multicast heartbeat lets several unicast messages be replaced by one multicast message) |
| comp., MS | multicast scope | Multicastbereich (A range of multicast group IP addresses in the Class D address range that are available to be leased or assigned to multicast DHCP clients by DHCP) |
| comp., MS | multicast server | Multicastserver (A service that manages zero or more multicast groups and distributes multicast data sent to it by clients of those multicast groups through point-to-multipoint connections) |
| comp., MS | multicast static route | statische Multicastroute (A static route that a multicast-enabled router uses to forward an IP packet from a sending computer to the receiving multicast group) |
