However, I could not figure out, how to specifically assign a broadcast/multicast data rate. Is this supported? If so, how? The scenario I'm facing is that I'm perfectly happy to let the RC figure out the best data rate for the peer nodes up to the supported maximum. However, I need to multicast video streams as well. For this I have to balance the required data rate with the distance I can achieve. Kind regards Joerg
