Overview of MVR
MVR refers to Multicast VLAN Registration that enables a media server to
transmit multicast stream in a single multicast VLAN while clients receiving
multicast VLAN stream can reside in different VLANs. Clients in different
VLANs intend to join or leave the multicast group simply by sending the IGMP
Join/leave message to a receiver port. The receiver port belonging to one of
the multicast groups can receive multicast stream from media server. In the
Figure 1, without support of MVR, the Multicast stream from media server and
subscriber must reside in the same VLAN. For each VLAN, A media server is
required to transmit multicast stream once and totally, media server transmits 6
times. In the Figure 2, on the contrary, with MVR, a media server is required to
transmit multicast traffic once to all the clients in different VLANs.
