-	While the advantages are many for multicasting, it is still a relatively new technology and so ~~will~~ naturally ~~have~~ bugs and problems with certain features. This young technology also needs extra protocols for it to work seamlessly, this however is not the case yet for some features, namely the UDP problem. Because most multicast applications are currently using the UDP transport protocol, these multicast applications are built upon an 'unreliable' base, and so cannot guarantee users the sort of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity_(computing) integrity] that other routing schemes that use better protocols offer. This fact that most multicast apllications use UDP is because of the fact that it is not a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_oriented connection oriented] technology and so cannot have the reliability that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcp/ip TCP/IP] offers. This is why new transport protocols such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragmatic_General_Multicast PGM] are being designed and implemented.	+	While the advantages are many for multicasting, it is still a relatively new technology and so naturally has bugs and problems with certain features.

-	Multicasting is a type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_address internet addressing] system where only interested receivers are sent the requested information. This was created to be a more efficient means of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_address broadcasting] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicast unicasting] where information would be sent to every node in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network network]. Multicasting uses the most efficient routes to transfer the data and only copies the information being sent when a fork in the route occurs. Prior to multicasting, if a user needed to send the same data to N users, the user would need to copy that data N times and send it to each receiver. This creates a high amount of strain on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing) servers], as well as large amounts of traffic over the network. Multicasting however needs only one transmission of this data, and will optimize the path that the data takes to reach each desired user.	+	Multicasting is a type of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_address internet addressing] system where only interested receivers are sent the requested information.
