Abstract
An apparatus, method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for converting traffic of a first communication type to traffic of one or more additional communication types. Multicast communications may be supported. One or more communication paths may be established to support transmitting data to one or more client devices in the multicast group.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device and from a client device of a plurality of client devices, a message that complies with a first communication protocol;
- sending, to a source associated with a multicast group, a version of the message that complies with a second communication protocol of the multicast group;
- receiving, after sending the version of the message that complies with the second communication protocol, a response that indicates a communication path to the client device;
- and
- sending, to the client device via the communication path, a version of the response that complies with the first communication protocol.

An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to:
- receive, from a client device of a plurality of client devices, a message that complies with a first communication protocol;
- send, to a source associated with a multicast group, a version of the message that complies with a second communication protocol of the multicast group;
- receive, after sending the version of the message that complies with the second communication protocol, a response that indicates a communication path to the client device;
- and
- send, to the client device via the communication path, a version of the response that complies with the first communication protocol.

A system comprising:
- a computing device and a client device;
- wherein the computing device is configured to:
- receive, from the client device, a message that complies with a first communication protocol;
- send, to a source associated with a multicast group, a version of the message that complies with a second communication protocol of the multicast group;
- receive, after sending the version of the message that complies with the second communication protocol, a response that indicates a communication path to the client device;
- and
- send, to the client device via the communication path, a version of the response that complies with the first communication protocol;
- and
- wherein the client device is configured to:
- send the message;
- and
- receive the version of the response.
