A system (100) and method (200) related to gathering statistical information regarding a data stream. The method (200) may include sending (205), by a data forwarding device (110), an internet protocol (IP) multicast data stream to a multicast group using an internet protocol (IP); and collecting (210) statistical data from a router (120a-g) down stream of the forwarding device (110) to determine a number of end point recipients (125, 130, 135) associated with the multicast group and receiving the multicast data stream. |
