Abstract
A system, apparatus, and method for network traffic management. The method includes establishing a building zone corresponding with a physical space in the building, determining how many networked devices are in the building zone, determining a current multicast use level, establishing a virtual group threshold based on a current portion of a network multicast capacity that is being used, and unicast transmitting a message to a plurality of networked devices in the building zone when the number of networked devices in the building zone is less than the virtual group threshold.
