We have a network where we today send IPTV multicast from a few servers. Users connected via cable can watch the streams, and the switches use IGMP snooping to open up for the requested stream to each client.
Now some users want to watch the streams via wireless. The wireless network consists of many wAPac managed by a central CAPsMAN in Local Forwarding Mode.
Will wAP with multicast-helper enabled do ‘IGMP snooping’ and only forward the streams to the clients requesting them, or will all wAP’s get flooded with all streams..?
It is pretty complex to set up a full lab to test this in scale , so I am hoping someone else here already knows the answer..?
