Abstract
An apparatus bridges a plurality of domains and routes multicast datastreams between them. The apparatus includes a receiver which receives a client request signal via a multicast access protocol from a user connected within a first domain. A transmitter requests multicast content using a multicast transmission protocol from a provider within a second domain. A processor processes the multicast content received from the provider. The transmitter relays the multicast content from the second domain to the first domain for access by the user.
