TELEMETRY DATA DISTRIBUTION UTILIZING A MULTICAST IP NETWORK

Abstract

The efficient distribution of telemetry data via standard Ethernet networks has become an increasingly important part of telemetry system designs. While there are several methods and architectures to choose from, a solution based on IP multicast transmission provides for a fast and efficient method of distributing data from a single source to multiple clients. This data distribution method allows for increased scalability as data servers are no longer required to service individual client connections, and network bandwidth is minimized with multiple network clients being simultaneously serviced via a single data transmission.
