Abstract
A repeater for a computer network, and a network incorporating such a repeater are described in which repeater communication addressed to a subset of the devices connected to the repeater are transmitted in a corrupt or scrambled form to other network devices. The processing load is thus reduced for such other network devices, in particular in the context of high volume multicast traffic such as in video conferencing.
