It is an interactive television network business, and it uses the bi-directional IP network which has existed to provide live television, on-demand programming, time-shifted TV. Judging from the current test operation of the IPTV business situation,it still has a few gaps comparing with the cable television, for examples, image clarity, mouth shape and voice synchronization, channel switching time, the number of channels. There are many technical problems to be solved: ①video encoding, ②storage, ③data transmission, ④multi-media terminal, ⑤technical standards. Because the bandwidth of network is limited, the transmission technology on carrying network must be improved to improve the TV picture quality.So that it is avoided to transmit the same content by unicast way. So near the different terminal users transmit the data only in a trunk-line when receiving the television information. But data is replicatied and distributed in another branch of the router, that is, Multicast. Multicast is of high-performance which sent the data packet to the more receivers on the network at the same time. And it supports point-to-multipoint communications and multipoint-to-multipoint communication. Multicast technology avoids a multi-unicast stream for each recipient to establish communication links and to send a separate packet. It is a key technology of IPTV to improve the utilization of the network. There are two types of main multicasts: network layer multicast services and application layer multicast. Network layer multicast is IP multicast, which has advantages of the bandwidth-efficient and simple equipment. However, because of technology and management, IP Multicast is difficult to popularize in the short term through Internet environment. ALM will move multicast from the network layer to application layer. An IP Multicast
