Abstract
A multicast system includes a networking device. A server subsystem is coupled to the networking device. A source device is coupled to the networking device and is configured to generate a data stream, and transmit the data stream as a unicast communication that is directed through the networking device to the server subsystem. A receiver device is coupled to the networking device and is configured to transmit a request to join the data stream. A management subsystem is coupled to the networking device and is configured to receive the request that was transmitted by the receiver device. Based on the request, the management subsystem configures the networking device to replicate the data steam received as the unicast communication that is directed to the server subsystem to provide a replicated data stream, and transmit the replicated data stream as a unicast communication that is directed to the receiver device.
