    Host Extensions for IP Multicasting

    1. STATUS OF THIS MEMO

    This memo specifies the extensions required of a host implementation
    of the Internet Protocol (IP) to support multicasting. It is the
    recommended standard for IP multicasting in the Internet.
    Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

    2. INTRODUCTION

    IP multicasting is the transmission of an IP datagram to a "host
    group", a set of zero or more hosts identified by a single IP
    destination address. A multicast datagram is delivered to all
    members of its destination host group with the same "best-efforts"
    reliability as regular unicast IP datagrams, i.e., the datagram is
    not guaranteed to arrive intact at all members of the destination
    group or in the same order relative to other datagrams.

    The membership of a host group is dynamic; that is, hosts may join
    and leave groups at any time. There is no restriction on the
    location or number of members in a host group. A host may be a
    member of more than one group at a time. A host need not be a member
    of a group to send datagrams to it.

    A host group may be permanent or transient. A permanent group has a
    well-known, administratively assigned IP address. It is the address,
    not the membership of the group, that is permanent; at any time a
    permanent group may have any number of members, even zero. Those IP
    multicast addresses that are not reserved for permanent groups are
    available for dynamic assignment to transient groups which exist only
    as long as they have members.

    Internetwork forwarding of IP multicast datagrams is handled by
    "multicast routers" which may be co-resident with, or separate from,
    internet gateways. A host transmits an IP multicast datagram as a
    local network multicast which reaches all immediately-neighboring
    members of the destination host group. If the datagram has an IP
    time-to-live greater than 1, the multicast router(s) attached to the
    local network take responsibility for forwarding it towards all other
    networks that have members of the destination group. On those other
    member networks that are reachable within the IP time-to-live, an
    attached multicast router completes delivery by transmitting the

    datagram as a local multicast.

    This memo specifies the extensions required of a host IP
    implementation to support IP multicasting, where a "host" is any
    internet host or gateway other than those acting as multicast
    routers. The algorithms and protocols used within and between
    multicast routers are transparent to hosts and will be specified in
    separate documents. This memo also does not specify how local
    network multicasting is accomplished for all types of network,
    although it does specify the required service interface to an
    arbitrary local network and gives an Ethernet specification as an
    example. Specifications for other types of network will be the
    subject of future memos.

    That 3gb limit has nothing to do with the size of the memory bus, it has everything to do with the increased cost of adding support for 4gb DIMMS and more sockets. So, to lower costs, they just don't support more than 3gb on most consumer/small business style boards. The mid/high end Tyan boards support more ram so you may want to look at them.
