Large-Scale multicast applications for the Internet require the availability of multicast protocols that enhance the basic connectionless IP Multicast service. A critical requirem...
The goal of this paper is to identify and discuss scalability issues for the measurement-based analysis of the availability in large-scale networks using IP multicast technology. ...
Group communication protocols are used in fault-tolerant systems to maintain strong replica consistency. The FaultTolerant Multicast Protocol (FTMP) described here is a group comm...
