Does "Standard" mode handle multicast traffic differently than the other 4 modes?

Like the title says… does “Standard” mode handle multicast differently than “Large, IOT, Internet, and Guest mode”? Just curious if you are willing to share any more about what goes on behind the scenes in these modes.

Standard Network

  • Security level: Low
  • Filters: None Unoptimized type for small networks only. Since most networks fall into this category, and since it does not cause any discovery compatibility issues, this is the default type.

Large Network

  • Security level: Low
  • Filters: All broadcast/multicast traffic, except for MDNS, ARP, and ND Optimized for medium- to large-sized networks with hundreds to thousands of wireless devices. Discovery compatibility issues may arise if discovery protocols other than MDNS, IPv4 ARP, and IPv6 ND are utilized.

More detail can be found about other network types here.
