| comp., MS | distance vector multicast routing protocol | 远程矢量多播路由协议 (An Internet routing protocol that provides an efficient mechanism for connectionless datagram delivery to a group of hosts across an Internet network. It is a distributed protocol that dynamically generates IP multicast delivery trees using a technique called Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM)) |
| comp., MS | Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol | 多播地址动态客户端分配协议 (An extension to the DHCP protocol standard used to support dynamic assignment and configuration of IP multicast addresses on TCP/IP-based networks) |
| comp., MS | multicast address resolution service | 多播地址解决方案服务 (A service for resolving multicast IP addresses to the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) addresses of the clients that have joined that multicast group. MARS can work in conjunction with the multicast server (MCS) and clients to distribute multicast data through point-to-multipoint connections) |
| comp., MS | Multicast Client Auto Removal | 多播客户端自动删除 (Ability to automatically remove a client from a multicast group (usually a client with lower bandwidth - to be served via unicast deployment), have it join a different multicast group or to terminate deployment) |
| comp., MS | multicast delivery | 多播传递 (A method for delivering notifications that formats a notification once and sends the resulting message to multiple subscribers) |
| comp., MS | multicast discovery | 多播发现 (The discovery of resources or devices on the local subnet) |
| comp., MS | multicast-enabled network | 启用多播的网络 (A network that has routers that can interpret Class D IP addresses) |
| comp., MS | multicast heartbeat | 多播检测信号 (A message sent by nodes in a cluster to continuously maintain communication between cluster nodes. The multicast heartbeat detects and communicates a failure within the cluster. Using a multicast heartbeat lets several unicast messages be replaced by one multicast message) |
| comp., MS | multicast scope | 多播作用域 (A range of multicast group IP addresses in the Class D address range that are available to be leased or assigned to multicast DHCP clients by DHCP) |
| comp., MS | multicast server | 多播服务器 (A service that manages zero or more multicast groups and distributes multicast data sent to it by clients of those multicast groups through point-to-multipoint connections) |
| comp., MS | multicast static route | 多播静态路由 (A static route that a multicast-enabled router uses to forward an IP packet from a sending computer to the receiving multicast group) |
