Traditional reliable multicast protocols depend on assumptions about flow control and reliability mechanisms, and they suffer from a kind of interference between these mechanisms. ...
Various Internet applications involve multiple parties and usually adopt a one-to-many communication paradigm (multicast). The presence of multiple receivers in a multicast session...
Group communication is the basic infrastructure for implementing fault-tolerant replicated servers. While group communication is well understood in the context of static systems (...
Estimating the network delays between each pair of nodes in a multicast session is the key parameter in reliable multicast; it is used, among other things, in suppressing the impl...
We analyze the maximum throughput that the known classes of reliable multicast protocols can attain. A new taxonomy of reliable multicast protocols is introduced based on the prem...
