Multicast: Sending out data to distributed servers on the MBone
(Multicast Backbone). For large amounts of data, IP Multicast is more
efficient than normal Internet transmissions because the server can
broadcast a message to many recipients simultaneously. Unlike
traditional Internet traffic that requires separate connections for each
source-destination pair, IP Multicasting allows many recipients to share
the same source. This means that just one set of packets is transmitted
for all the destinations.

You'll have to activate MARS service (Multicast Address Resolution
Service) and setup a MCS server. See Wk2 help for more. Used mainly for
ATM addresses.
