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.
