Abstract:
This document describes some performance issues that have been
observed when multicast packet transmission is attempted over IEEE
802 wireless media. Multicast features specified for IEEE 802
wireless media related to multicast are also described, along with
explanations about how these features can help ameliorate the
observed performance issues. IETF protocols that are likely to be
affected by the observed performance issues are identified, and
workarounds are proposed in some cases. The performance of multicast
over wireless media often can be quite different than the performance
of unicast. This draft describes the nature of the differences and
the effects on representative IETF protocols. We also describe some
efforts that have been made by IEEE 802 Wireless groups to ameliorate
the performance differences.
