  The WMF provides an efficient way to forward the multicast traffic on the wireless medium and overcomes the multicast transmission issues on WLAN using the repeated unicast of multicast frames. It uses IGMP frames to keep track of participating group members and multicast packets are trasnmitted only to the interested members after unicast MAC conversion. With WMF, the data transfer is more reliable as the frames are sent as unicast and robust transmission is possible as dynamic per station rate control can be done based on the link errors and noise conditions. The multicast group members can be a STA end point. Streaming between STA devices will also be supported. The multicast streaming server can be attached to any of the LAN ports.
