Define Streaming
Streaming is sending continual data in real-time.
What is Real-Time?
Real-Time is anything that is played back at  a rate which the human senses perceive as "real"
How many Frames per second does the human senses perceive as "Real"?
at 30 Frames Per Second the Human senses perceive movement as real.
At what kHz does the human senses perceive as "Real"?
At 20kHz, the human senses perceive audio as "Real".
What is needed to receive streaming data?
IN order to receive streaming data, a High speed connection, software to support it, any CODECS, and protocols for streaming are required.
Why are TCP (HTTP and FTP) not suitable protocols for streaming Data?
TCP (HTTP and FTP) are not suitable protocols for streaming data because they are for reliable data communications. When packets are lost, re-transmittal of the data takes place. Too much overhead.
What is RTP?
RTP is the Real-Time Transport Protocol.
What is RTP used for?
RTP is used for Streaming Data.
What protocol is RTP used over? 
RTP is used over the UDP protocol.

Unicasting allows each client to receive their own separate unique stream (own channel).

Which type of Mediacasting suffers from these problems:

Multiple connections,
Heavy Processing of streaming media
Requires powerful hardware for delivery
Requires OS that can deliver timely and reliably.

Unicasting suffers from these problems:

Multiple connections,
Heavy Processing of streaming media
Requires powerful hardware for delivery
Requires OS that can deliver timely and reliably.

Requires IP Addresses
Large Bandwidth from network
Supporting network hardware?

Multicasting

Requires IP Addresses
Large Bandwidth from network
Supporting network hardware?

Why is IP 224.0.0.0 important in multicasting?
224.0.0.0 is a reserved IP, so you cannot use it in multicasting.
Why is IP 224.0.0.1 important in multicasting?  
224.0.0.1 is used for all hosts on the subnet. When you ping it, all multi-cast capable hosts will answer.
Why is IP 224.0.0.2 important in Multicasting?
IP 224.0.0.2 is for all multicasting capable routers. If you ping this, all multicast capable routers will answer.
What is Level 0 multicast conformance?  
Level 0 multicast conformance means there is no support for multicasting.
What is Level 1 multicast conformance?
Level 1 multicast conformance means the device is sending but not receiving multicast IP datagrams
What is Level 2 multicast conformance?
Level 2 multicast conformance means the device can send and receive traffic
A TTL of 0 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 0 means the datagrams are restricted to the same HOST
A TTL of 1 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 1 means the datagrams are restricted to the same subnet (it won't get forwarded by the router)
A TTL of 32 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 32 means the datagrams are restricted to site or organization or department.
A TTL of 64 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 64 means the datagrams are restricted to the same region.
A TTL of 128 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 128 means the datagrams are restricted to the same continent.
A TTL of 255 means the datagrams are restricted to ___ ?
A TTL of 255 means the datagrams are restricted to nothing, they are global in scope.
