whitepaper Building a Real-World Model to Assess Virtualization Platforms2008-10-22 Intel
  To drive business decisions in the data center, Intel IT created a performance-driven methodology to compare the operating costs of virtualization platforms. We approximate the total cost of ownership (TCO) of each platform by measuring workload performance, platform performance, and power consumption. Using this methodology, we demonstrated a greater than 50 percent cost reduction with the Dual-Core Intel? Xeon? processor 5150 running at 2.66 GHz as compared with its predecessor, the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor running at 2.8 GHz.

whitepaper Multicast - What Is It?2008-10-03 Global Knowledge
  When multiple receivers are required to get the same data at approximately the same time, multicast is a more efficient way of delivering data than unicast. A unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address. A multicast packet has a single source IP, but it has a multicast destination IP address that will be delivered to a group of receivers. This white paper explains the advantages of multicast over unicast delivery.
