Traditional reliable multicast protocols depend on assumptions about flow control and reliability mechanisms, and they suffer from a kind of interference between these mechanisms. ...
—Many scalable reliable multicast protocols use the local repair scheme where certain receivers retransmit packets by other receivers. Such schemes need a mechanism, called messa...
Such interactive, distributed multimedia applications as shared whiteboards, group editors, and simulations require reliable concurrent multicast services, i.e., the reliable diss...

Reliable multicast protocols can strongly simplify the design of distributed applications. However, it is hard to sustain a high multicast throughput when groups are large and het...
