DHCP: Response messages sent from the DHCP server as a broadcast are converted into unicasts. This form of message delivery is more reliable because data packets sent as a broadcast have no specific addressee, they do not use optimized transmission techniques such as ARP spoofing or IGMP/MLD snooping, and they have a low data rate.
2
Multicast: In order for this feature to work, it is necessary to enable IGMP snooping on the device and to configure it correctly. The device uses IGMP snooping to determine which client should receive which multicast stream. This ensures that the appropriate target clients or addresses are available for the multicast conversion.
