Ruckus with Multivlan Multicast

Home Solutions

Requirements

Install a local multicast streamer to transmit licensed channels

TVs joins relevant Multicast Group once they select a TV channel

Channels should be changed quickly

For more stability need network segmentation

-->Each floor should use a dedicated multicast vlan

Below is the design of the network
