Understanding Multicast Addresses and Implementation

Multicast Addressing Explained

For multicasting, a specific multicast address (Class D addresses, ranging from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) is used to target a specific group of receivers.

Key Multicast Address Ranges

  • 224.0.0.0 – 224.0.0.255: Local network control block.
  • 224.0.1.0 – 238.255.255.255: Globally scoped multicast.
  • 239.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255: Administratively scoped, used for local/private multicast within organizations.
