Enhanced Dynamic Multicast Optimization
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a set of instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, causes performance of a set of operations comprising:
- measuring, by a network device, a network condition;
determining, by the network device, whether to convert all stations in a multicast group to unicast based on the network condition; and
responsive to determining not to convert the all stations in the multicast group to unicast, determining, by the network device, based on the network condition, a subset of the multicast group for converting the subset of the multicast group to unicast, the subset including less than all stations in the multicast group.

Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a system and method for enhanced dynamic multicast optimization based on network condition measurement. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to: measure a network condition for a multicast group using one or more metrics; determine whether to convert all stations in the multicast group to unicast based on the network condition; and responsive to determining not to convert the all stations in the multicast group to unicast, determine, based on the network condition, a sub set of the multicast group for converting the subset of the multicast group to unicast, wherein the subset includes less than all stations in the multicast group.
