Test WiFi Multicast Download with a small number of stations. This example uses a pair of LANforge CT520 systems, but the procedure should work on all CT521, CT522, CT523 and CT525 systems. Multicast is a bit special in Wireless networks. Packets are normally transmitted at the lowest rate, so even a small bit of multicast traffic will slow down the entire network. In this example, we will transmit multicast frames from the AP to the stations. Many users will instead use the wired Ethernet port as the transmitter, but aside from the different port, the procedure should be the same. This example assumes you have already created and configured the desired amount of WiFi station interfaces.
