Manage the broadcast and multicast settings for a radio

Because multicast and broadcast traffic can adversely affect the throughput and latency
of a WiFi network, you can change the multicast and broadcast rate limiting settings
and the fixed multicast traffic transmission rate for a radio.
By default, multicast and broadcast rate limiting is enabled to improve the overall
network performance by limiting the number of packets that are transmitted across the
network. By default, the setting is 50 (the maximum possible value), which specifies a
maximum rate limit of 50 packets per second. You can lower this number.
The multicast traffic transmission rate for the radio is Auto, which lets the access point
automatically adjust the multicast traffic transmission rate. You can specify a fixed
transmission rate.
