Multicast Group Table
This view displays all Multicast Groups known across all Applications. Multicast Groups fall into three categories: FUOTA, Application and Device To Device. The FUOTA groups are initiated by setting up a FUOTA transfer through the UI or through the FUOTA API. Application and Device to Device Multicast Groups can be initiated through the Multicast API.
