Abstract
A system for multicasting a packet of data to a single data stream is provided. The system may determine a size of the packet and may send a single copy of the packet if the size of the packet exceeds a threshold value. A number of copies of the packet yet to be multicast may be ascertained if the size of the packet of data does not exceed the threshold value. Copies of the packet may be transmitted based on the number of copies of the packet yet to be multicast.
