System and method for converting unicast client requests into multicast client requests

A system for converting a unicast client request into a multicast client request, the system comprising:

• a plurality of destination servers;
• and
• a router configured to receive the unicast client request, wherein
• the router is further configured to map the unicast client request destination IP address and unicast client request destination port to a multicast record, wherein
• the multicast record comprises a multicast destination IP address, and further wherein
• the router is further configured to transmit the multicast client request that mirrors the received unicast client request to the plurality of destination servers using the multicast destination IP that corresponds to the unicast client request destination IP address and unicast client request destination port.
