Addressing:
  • There must be a network-layer address that is used to communicate with a group of receivers rather than a single receiver. There must be also a mechanism for mapping this address onto data-link layer multicast addresses where they exist.
Dynamic registration:
  • There must be a mechanism for the computer to communicate to the network that it is a member of a particular group. Computers must register to let the global network know which local networks need to receive traffic for each group.
