6 B/Mcast Support on Major Services
Amazon VPC, Microsoft Azure Broadcast/Multicast do not be supported VMware NSX Supporting broadcast/multicast Unicast Replication methods

7 Major Broadcast Protocols
Physical networks use various protocols ARP RARP Gratuitous ARP DHCP Broadcast communication on Virtual Networks is not allowed Functionality of virtual networks is poor

8 Major Multicast-related Protocols
Routing protocol OSPF Construction of routing table Providing High-Availability VRRP Heartbeat messages among servers Without IP Multicast, we can’t construct practical virtual networks
