hello everyone,  
I am trying to stream a rtsp video via ethernet and in “ifconfig” is ether0 is labeled as multicast, does any one knows how to change it to unicast? and is it true that it has lower latency?

Thanks

Commands like below should disable the multicast.

```auto
ifconfig eth0 -multicast 

```
