in telecommunications, what form of communication is sent from only a single sender to many receivers?
multicast
point-to-multipoint communication









































in telecommunications, point-to-multipoint communication (p2mp, ptmp or pmp) is communication which is accomplished via a distinct type of one-to-many connection, providing multiple paths from a single location to multiple locations.









































point-to-multipoint telecommunications is typically used in wireless internet and ip telephony via gigahertz radio frequencies. p2mp systems have been designed with and without a return channel from the multiple receivers. a central antenna or antenna array broadcasts to several receiving antennas and the system uses a form of time-division multiplexing to allow for the return channel traffic.

single sender to channels that receivers join to receive data.









































alc does specify the session description needed by receivers before









































they join a session, but the mechanisms by which receivers obtain









































this required information is outside the scope of alc. an









































application that uses alc may require that receivers report









































statistics on their reception experience back to the sender, but the









































mechanisms by which receivers report back statistics is outside the









































scope of alc. in general, alc is designed to be a minimal protocol









































instantiation that provides reliable content delivery without









































unnecessary limitations to the scalability of the basic protocol.
