| comp., MS | distance vector multicast routing protocol 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) | 遠距向量多點傳送路由協定 (DVMRP) |
| comp., MS | Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol An extension to the DHCP protocol standard used to support dynamic assignment and configuration of IP multicast addresses on TCP/IP-based networks | 多點傳送位址動態用戶端配置通訊協定 (MADCAP) |
| comp., MS | multicast address resolution service 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 | 多點傳送位址解析服務 (MARS) |
| comp., MS | Multicast Client Auto Removal | 多點傳送用戶端自動移除 (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 | 多重傳遞 (A method for delivering notifications that formats a notification once and sends the resulting message to multiple subscribers) |
| comp., MS | multicast discovery | 多點傳送探索 (The discovery of resources or devices on the local subnet) |
| comp., MS | multicast-enabled network | 啟用多點傳送網路 (A network that has routers that can interpret Class D IP addresses) |
| comp., MS | multicast heartbeat | 多點傳送活動訊號 (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 | 多點傳送領域 (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 | 多點傳送伺服器 (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 | 多點傳送靜態路由 (A static route that a multicast-enabled router uses to forward an IP packet from a sending computer to the receiving multicast group) |
