| | 78 | 1. VLC server: It streams the video to one (unicast) or more (multicast) clients. |
| | 79 | 2. VLC relay: It receives the stream from a server and forwards the stream to one or more clients. In the demo, the Access Point acts as the VLC relay. |
| | 80 | 3. VLC clients: It receives a unicast/multicast stream. |
