Abstract. End System Multicasting (ESM) is fast becoming a feasible alternative to IP multicasting. ESM approaches can be broadly classified into two main categories: (i) Tree firs...
— The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal,...
While the IP unicast service has proven successful, extending end-to-end adaptation to multicast has been a difficult problem. Unlike the unicast case, multicast protocols must su...
We address the problem of message ordering for reliable multicast communication. End-to-end multicast ordering is useful for ensuring the collective integrity and consistency of d...
Abstract. Multicast is an effective means for conducting the cooperative P2P communications. This paper studies an algorithm to construct a scalable and efficient end host multica...
