Question:

Why is it recommended to select "Allow the Following Multicast Addresses" instead of allowing all addresses?

Answer:

Without proper management and control, multicast traffic can impose an unnecessary load on the network, potentially degrading overall performance and user experience. By creating an address object and selecting "Allow the Following Multicast Addresses," you restrict multicast traffic strictly to the designated IPTV clients, thereby minimizing the impact on overall network performance.
