You can enable the function of converting multicast packets to unicast packets in scenarios that have high requirements on multicast stream transmission, such as a high-definition video on-demand scenario.
After the function is enabled, an AP listens on Report and Leave packets to maintain multicast-to-unicast entries. When sending multicast packets to the client, the AP converts the multicast packets to unicast packets based on the multicast-to-unicast entries to improve multicast stream transmission efficiency.
After adaptive multicast-to-unicast conversion is enabled, when the air interface performance becomes a bottleneck during multicast-to-unicast conversion, an AP automatically switches the multicast group containing the minimum number of STAs to the multicast mode. After the air interface performance is improved and keeps being improved for a period of time, the AP automatically switches the multicast group containing the maximum number of STAs to the unicast mode. In this way, the air interface performance is automatically adjusted without manual intervention, improving wireless user experience.
