Thank You for your information but I still have some
more questions....

As I said before Am going to use the Amino 103 set-top
box which supports IGMP Multicast. but My Question is
I don't know if the configuration how-to comes with
the set-top box but in all cases I will be looking for
igmp udp multicast.....
second thing on the server side my case am using VLC
is there any special configuration to apply in order
to support IGMP udp Multicast or just UDP Multicast
with sap enabled.?

Third thing can I assume that the traffic with such a
switch before attending the wireless Bridge would be
less than the normal multicast traffic ?????

Best Regards
F.B.
