MULTICAST-UNICAST ADAPTER

摘要

A method and system provides the capability for multicast data traffic to flow with a unicast mechanism; that is, for some network entity to send a copy of the MC data session to a specific network address associated with the client. A method of transmitting data traffic comprises transmitting data using a multicast session to a plurality of destinations, determining that the multicast session to at least one of the destinations of the plurality of destinations should be switched to a unicast session to the at least one destination, and switching the multicast session to the at least one destination to a unicast session to the at least one destination.
