Adding a Multicast Configuration
The IP multicast functionality provides ultra-low latency to a large number of connected clients for both the delivery of events to data group consumers and between inter-connected realms in a Universal Messaging cluster.
For more information about multicast messaging, see
Multicast: An Overview in the Concepts guide.
