Trying to understand multicasting from the client/host perspective ..
What client software is needed? What configurations are required? Is there web based client, and any configuraton required? How a client start using a typical multicast service? How does a client/host works behind the scene to get multicast service, in conjunction with what have been set up on the router and switch?
Any good reference on this, I mean from client/host perspective, or something that provide the"whole" picture, including protocol, router, switch, and client/host?
