System und Verfahren zur Mehrfachsendung

摘要

A multicast packet transfer system includes a first packet transfer apparatus (101) and a second packet transfer apparatus (201). The first packet transfer apparatus transmits transfer packet data relating to an IP header and a UDP header of a multicast packet when the multicast packet is received, rewrites a header section of the multicast packet to produce a unicast packet, and transmits the unicast packet. The second packet transfer apparatus receives the transfer packet data and the unicast packet, and reproduces the multicast packet based on the received unicast packet and the received transfer packet data.
