1.1 Glossary

This document uses the following terms:

little-endian: Multiple-byte values that are byte-ordered with the least significant byte stored in the memory location with the lowest address.

multicast: The ability of a transport protocol, such as User Datagram Protocol (UDP), to deliver messages to a group of recipients simultaneously without duplication of message unless the link to recipients is split.

multicast address: A recipient that subscribes to the network address to receive packets sent using Multicast UDP. In a multicast address scenario, a packet is sent once by the sender and is delivered to all subscribers.

Unicast Address: An address that uniquely identifies a host on the network; any packets sent to the address are delivered to a single host.

MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as defined in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.
