Multicast Rate?

What is Multicast rate? I don't understand it. What should I set mine on and why?
Kevin

Multicast rate is the lowest rate at which the wireless connection will be maintained. If you set the rate higher the range of the network will decrease since you will need to be closer to base station to achieve that rate.

Airport Extreme multicast rate and closed network

New to Airport Extreme.
Is the multicast rate the same as the TX rate on other routers? I chose 11Mbps during the setup and my Macbook was very slow. I moved it back to 2 Mbps and it sped up. Distance from macbook to airport approx. 24 inches.
Other question/ statement. I assume that the closed network portion of the setup is the same as turning off the SSID of other routers. Do I assume correctly?

goldengti, Welcome to the discussion area!
Is the multicast rate the same as the TX rate on other routers?
Sorry I don't know about other routers. The multicast rate defines the minimum data rate the base station will use and maintain the wireless connection. If you set it to 11 Mbps, the wireless connection will be broken if that data rate can't be maintained.
Other question/ statement. I assume that the closed network portion of the setup is the same as turning off the SSID of other routers. Do I assume correctly?
Yes the same useless option. Regardless of how you set this option on any router, the SSID is still broadcast between any connected clients and the base station. Therefore it only takes a few seconds to discover the SSID.

Multicast rate setting

Has anyone done any experimentation to analytically try and determine how to best set the multicast rate on devices on a network? I'm thinking that since the airport utility will display the signal, noise, and rate information it would be simple to graph what the average rate readings were when the only variable in the experiment was a change to the multicast rate setting.
I'm thinking that you'd arrive at some kind of idea of what to set the multicast rate setting to, based on the signal to noise ratio and throughput.
For example if the highest rate obtained between two devices with the same relative signal to noise ratio was 400 with a particular multicast rate setting on the base unit (connected to the internet) that would be the setting to use. If you experimented by changing just the multicast rate and nothing else, and the rate dropped to 300 for the same relative signal to noise ratio, then that would indicate where to set the multicast rate to.
I hope I'm making sense.
I've recently re-configured my network when I picked up a new 5th generation Airport Extreme and without doing anything my 5Ghz channel connection rate increased by 50%. That's between a 4th and 5th generation Airport Extreme. the rate went from 300 to 450 just by changing the one base station.
I know the 5th generation unit has improved antennas and higher signal output.
What's interesting is that from the 5th generation (base unit connected to the internet) to a 4th generation unit and 3rd generation unit that display identical signal and noise readings to the base unit. The 4th generation device is consistently and constantly higher in terms or xmission rate (450) while the 3rd generation device tops out at (270). The 3rd generation unit is on the same floor as the base unit and much closer than the 4th generation unit. This resulted in the equal signal and noise levels received at the base. You would think that the closer unit (which actually has a 1 db higher received signal at the base unit) would show an equal data rate.
So I'm wondering if Apple did more than just increase the signal level in the new units. Does anyone know what the maximum possible rate readings could be for each generation of extreme base station?
Well, hopefully this pretty technical dive into observed differences between units stimulates some conversation. I only wish I still had access to an RF anechoic chamber and shielded rooms so I could do some real testing.

Tesserax,
I completely understand how multicast works and it's effect on throughput performance. What I was wondering was, if anyone had done any studies or testing to determine that, for example: a multicast rate setting of 10Mbps requires the received signal to be at least 20db above the noise floor and no more than 3 clients connected at the same time.
My reason for being interested in this is that I've divided my home into an upstairs / downstairs network where the upstairs network is linked to the bottom one (which contains the internet access) via a wireless bridge. (running a 'hardline' ethernet connection is not feasible for me at this point) each network has a couple of base stations tied (hardline) to computers and media centers that require high throughput rates (for internet connections and media streaming)
The upstairs/downstairs bridge and these high throughput base stations have been isolated to be on the 5GHz band only. Since there are only 4 of these devices on this isolated network, I'm experimenting with doing everything I can to maximize the throughput over the 5GHz network. The 2.4GHz network (aren't simultaneous routers great!) is serviced by airport express units on both floors and handles all of the 'mobile' and 'lower' speed network needs such as iPads, iPhones, AirPlay (audio). The have lower multicast settings so that they can handle people carrying their iPads and iPhones around while providing great wifi coverage.
I was hoping that someone knew of someplace that a study might have been done that I could read. Maybe I'll have to do it myself over some holiday weekend and post the results. Since playing with the mulicast rate will affect the ability of devices to connect to each other, I think it should only be used as a 'throughput controller' when you're in a situation like I have where you have a 'backbone' network between fixed points that does not have to support clients coming in and out.
Do you happen to know what the full bandwidth potential is for the 5 and 2.4 GHz bands between 2 devices?

Questions about MultiCast Rate

1. What is MultiCast Rate?
2. The default is 2 Mbps, isn't it? Is it country dependent?
3. How to choose among the 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps options available?
4. Can the choice affect the interference with other devices?

1. What is MultiCast Rate?
The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect.
Every client negotiates bandwidth individually. Regardless of what the multicast rate is set to, the clients are going to be using the highest data rate their connection to the base station is capable of. Therefore the clients close to the base station will be using a high data rate while the clients far from the base station will be using a lower data rate. If the data rate to any client falls below the multicast rate, that connection will be dropped.
2. The default is 2 Mbps, isn't it? Is it country dependent?
That would depend on the firmware version that is running on the AirPort. For example, on the simultaneous dual-band AirPort Extreme, this option only provides for Low, Medium, or High settings. It is NOT country dependent.
3. How to choose among the 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps options available?
You would use the AirPort Utility to select the MultiCast Rate from the Wireless Network Options panel.
4. Can the choice affect the interference with other devices?
No. This setting is totally different than the radio channel setting. Having two base stations near each other, that are operating on the same channel, will cause Wi-Fi interference between them.

AirPort Extreme Multicast Rate limitation

I am currently using an iMac G5 which has an AirPort Extreme card with firmware 405.1. I have an AirPort Extreme (802.11n) base station that is running firmware version 7.1.1. My Radio Mode is "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)." My wireless security is WPA/WPA2 personal.
When I go into my Wireless Options, my Country is United States, my Transmit power is 100% and my WPA Group Key Timeout is one day. It is not a closed network and I do not use interference robustness.
When I open the options for "Multicast Rate," the highest available rate is 11 Mbps. From what I understand, wireless G is capable of 56 Mbps (and that is how Apple advertised the Airport Extreme card when I bought it). Why is my multicast rate limited to 11 Mbps and how can I raise it to 56 Mbps?

I've always been a little foggy on multicast. The apple support article seems to imply that it only matters when "certain audio and video streaming servers or other applications with multicast capability" are on your network. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Airport/5.0/en/ap2087.html)
What if you don't have one of these multicast servers or applications on your network? Does the multicast rate have any effect on your network performance?
My understanding is that the answer is YES - regardless of whether you have one of these multicast servers or not, setting your multicast rate to X means that only airport clients that can achieve a speed of X or greater will be able to connect to the base station. If you set it to 1, then you will extend the range of your network. But sometimes, in a WDS, where multiple base stations on the same channel overlap, I find that my clients have trouble deciding which base station to connect to. So actually, it works better to set the rate a little higher. But I am never quite sure if this is true, or if its just my imagination.
At any rate (no pun intended) , I'm still foggy on multicast and would really appreciate if someone out there could clear things up or direct me to a link that explains what i need to know (starting with an actual definition of multicast).
Thanks

What should the multicast rate be set at?

what should the multicast rate be set at in the wireless options box?
mine was set at the default of 6 Mbps but could be set higher: 9, 12, 18 & 24Mbps.
Any care to explain what it does?
Regards Simon

That sets the minimum date rate which is valid for a connection. If a connection can't maintain that rate, the connection will drop.
A side effect of setting it higher is that your usable range will decrease. You will need to be closer to the base station to maintain a higher data rate.

thanks in advance

Hi,
In the Manual Setup->Advanced->Logs and Statistics page of Airport Utility you'll find information on wireless signal quality for each client connected. Primarily, signal quality will determine the connection speed of your file transfers, the best you can do to improve things is to find a wireless channel with the least interference, Manual Setup->Wireless.
My Macbook Air connection is showing -66 Signal, -89 Noise, 122 Rate which gives me a wireless file transfer rate in bursts from 500kbps to 22Mbps. Time Capsule is not the fastest combo device, even file transfers over LAN Ethernet are around 50% slower than a regular Airport Extreme and I've found transfers to the disk from a GigE connected Mac Pro top out at around 60Mbps.
The Time Capsule is more useful as a convenience tool than speed I think so just be patient.

Suddenly Slow Download Rates

I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro to Leopard. Since then, the download rates when browsing the web have been incredibly slow. I don't know if that is a coincidence or not. For one thing, I notice in Leopard for the Airport, there is no longer "Use Inerference Robustness"-- a setting that always seemed to improve things in the past. I am also not sure if the multicast rate (currently set at 5.5) will affect this, or transmit power (currently at 50%). I have an Airport Extreme base station and a new (rectangular) Airport Express extending my network.

I am concerned my Airport Extreme is failing--when I connect directly from my modem to my computer, I get upload speeds of over 26,000 kbps. When I switch back to the wireless Extreme, I get 711 !!!! What could be going wrong? Are there settings on it I am not doing right?

Mulitcast rate & interference robustness options?

Is there any downside to setting the multicast rate of my new Airport Extreme N to the highest option and enabling interference robustness?
I'm aware that the higher the multicast rate, the lower my range, but I'm usually in the same room as the router. Will this then improve my speeds when transferring large files to the usb-attached network drive or streaming music?

Good question. Tuff to answer. Robustness will slow you up. If you don't have interference why use it. The downloads speed I would think it would not make a difference unless others were using your network.

Data rate slows over time: Using Time Capsule (4th) and AirPort Express (1st)

Time Capsule using Airport Express to extend network.
Over 3-4 days my data rate gradually gets slower and slower until I have to reboot both TC and AE.
Fresh reboot gets me 10Mbs or better for a while and then slows over time to 2Mbs or less.
I can cable directly to the ISP modem, taking TC and AE out of the equation, and its smokin fast
No hair left to pull out, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You have your wireless channels on auto.. it is usually better to control it.
You will notice I have different names for 2.4ghz and 5ghz.. then I can force the link to either band.
After you set Radio Channel selection to Manual,, click edit. You can then set the channels.
Lock the channels.. ie you take control and you set what the wireless channels will be.. when you extend wireless this works far better. The auto channel system has to run on the Extender.. but since the main base is fixed on the 2.4ghz so it will be also.. the only channel that can flap around is 5ghz (extender) since that is not under my control. Of course it is up to you to determine which channel works best.. I strongly recommend the upper channels for 2.4ghz and the lower channels for 5ghz.
So.. I have set 5ghz to 48 on the main base.. and the auto channel sets it to 149 in the extender.
One strange thing results from my setup .. (amongst many!!)
You cannot name the wireless for 5ghz in the extender.. so in my case the upstairs wireless extender has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz named TC24ghz.. nought that I can do about it. But it is not a big deal.
You can see the result in the wireless diagnostics. The last wireless I have put in the box.. it is named TC24ghz but is in fact running on 5ghz. That is just how the over automated system of the apple routers work.. If I could I would fix it.. and maybe shall via serial console at a later date.

Multicast and CPU overhead

Hello,
I use several Catalyst 3550 with equal IOS and configurations to route multicast. When i start multicsting i see that IP INPUT CPU overhead on one of switches raises to 90%. Other switches have normal CPU overhead with all networks subscribed to multicast group. I wondering what will couse this problem on switch.Any ideas ?

Reduced transmit rate on new dual band AEBS vs older AEBS 802.11N, gigabit

Hi,
I recently upgrade my AEBS from the older 802.11N Gigabit version to the dual band version. The new 2.4ghz part works fine for my iphone, however the 5ghz signal has much slower throughput. previously I could routinely get 270Mbps, now I am lucky to get 160Mbps. the new 5ghz signal is on the same frequency (48), the same multicast rate, and has wide channels selected. When I plugged the older model back in and tested it the throughput was the same 270Mbps so it is not some new interference.
Anybody else see anything like this? Do the two radios on the AEBS interfere with each other somewhat?
any ideas? Did I just get a dud unit or is this common (fixable?)?
Thanks

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. My situation is a bit different as I have various wifi units from different locations (some US, some European, some Japanese, etc, etc). As such I need to pick a frequency that works for everything, and on my previous non dual band AEBS channel 48 worked fine. I have tried channel 161 just for curriosity and it made no difference. The transmit rate is listed at between 216Mbps and 27Mpbs but as soon as you attempt to transfer anything it drops significantly. I have also tried to time the difference between my new dual band AEBS and the older one and, regardless of what the connection speed is saying, the new one is definitely slower.
It isn't unusable by any means, I just thought it was odd and I have never seen it mentioned on any of the reviews of the new dual band units.

Multicast Router Settings

What type of multicat does JMS use? IGMP or EVMRP? I am trying to enable the right one on the routers in my network.
Thanks,
Cindi

Yes, but keep the following in mind:
The Multicast Rate option sets the threshold throughput level a wireless client must obtain in order to be "accepted" by the base station. The lower this value, theoretically, the greater number of clients that can connect, especially those at greater distances from the base station. At the opposite end, the higher this number, only those wireless clients that can achieve the higher throughput value will be able to connect. The multicast rate is not related to what type of equipment you are using. The multicast rate has no effect on the maximum data rate used by the base station. It only affects the lowest rate at which the base station will keep a connection open. The multicast rate is dependent on how much RF noise you have in the area. Remember that increasing the multicast rate causes a decrease in effective range.

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

New Airport Extreme network won't hold stream to Apple TV

(I thought about posting this in the Apple TV forum but I think this is more appropriate here.)
For months I had a network configured in my home that included two Airport Express base stations. My cable modem plugged directly into one of them (in my office) and then both computers (G4 desktop and new laptop) shared internet, etc. via wireless. The other base station was in my living room to extend the network.
Upon getting an Apple TV many months ago, I began streaming my iTunes library that is stored on the G4: tens of thousands of files. I used this means of employing my Apple TV and listening to my music just about *every day*, for months. Streaming was always smooth -- never a hiccup, never an interruption, and I was thrilled by this new way of accessing my collection.
Recently, however, I replaced the office Express station with a new Extreme station, thinking it would possibly make the network faster as I could now connect the station back to the G4 via an Ethernet connection, now at least having one computer on the internet via a lined connection rather than wireless. And the new network works well in that aspect.
However, I can no longer stream any music to my Apple TV. It sees and accesses the library as it always has, but now just about every song gets choked up and drops the stream, no matter how I reconfigure the network (channel, transmit power, multicast rate, etc.).
Does anyone have any advice regarding how to make my network stable again so that I can resume streaming? I'm very disappointed that a major purpose for my Apple TV has been eradicated despite the fact that I thought I was actually upgrading.
Other factors could include the fact that within this time both the Mac OS software (10.4.10) and iTunes (7.3) have been updated by Apple. (I also wonder if the new Extreme station is too sophisticated for my G4, which maybe can't keep up with it, thus the choking?)

Such as
1) A network config issue. The G4 is still trying to
use Airport.
I have Airport shut completely off on the G4.
2) A software issue. The G4 is running a process
which is slowing it.
I don't notice any odd processes in Activity Monitor.
3) A hardware fault. The G4 has a hard drive with
errors, causing retries.
There are no notable errors on the drive but the whole process of accessing my iTunes library seems plodding and inefficient. The beach ball comes up a lot when accessing new parts of the library in iTunes.
Do a disk check.
I ran a disk check and defragmented not very long ago, so it should be okay.
Make sure software update is up-to-date. Reboot it.
I really thought today's iTunes 7.3.1 update would nail the problem, but it didn't... After 30 seconds, streaming stopped, Apple TV went back to menu.
Check Activity monitor for network speed, and
unwanted processes.
Nothing seems out of the ordinary.
