Reliable Multicasting in the Xpress Transport Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Xpress Transport Protocol (XTP) is designed to meet the needs of distributed, real-time, and multimedia systems. This paper describes the genesis of recent improvements to XTP that provide mechanisms for reliable management of multicast groups, and gives details of the

The Multidriver: a reliable multicast service using the Xpress transfer protocol
A reliable multicast facility extends traditional point-to-point virtual circuit reliability to oneto-many communication. Such services can provide more efficient use of network resources, a powerful distributed name binding capability, and reduced latency in multidestination message delivery. These benefits wiU be especially valuable in real-time environments where reliable multicast can enabl...
متن کاملCyclic Best-effort Multicasting with FEC
Cyclic best-effort multicast supports reliable multicast transport by sending information repeatedly. The authors present forward error correcting (FEC) cyclic best-effort multicast which transmits FEC encoded redundant data as well as original data. FEC cyclic multicasting reduces the number of packet transmissions at least by half compared to plain cyclic multicasting.
متن کاملTraffic characterization of transport level reliable multicasting: Comparison of epidemic and feedback controlled loss recovery
Transport level multicast protocols providing reliability and scalability properties are certainly essential building blocks for several distributed group applications. We consider the effect of reliable multicast transport mechanisms on traffic characteristics and hence network performance. Although self-similarity property of unicast traffic, in particular TCP, has been analyzed extensively, ...
متن کاملA Reliable Message Multicast Transport Protocol for Virtual Circuits
Motivated by the need to distribute large volumes of scientific data to large numbers of subscribers, we propose a reliable multicast transport protocol. Specifically, this protocol is developed for use on virtual circuits, since dynamic circuit services are now being offered by large providers, and virtual circuit networking is well suited to multicasting as it eliminates the data-plane conges...
متن کاملReliable Multicasting in the Internet: Experience with the IRMA Architecture
In this paper, we present our experience with the IRMA reliable multicast architecture. IRMA guarantees reliable, sequenced, and loosely synchronized delivery of multicast streams by supporting TCP as the multicast transport protocol at the end hosts without modifications to the standard TCP/IP stack. To support TCP as the multicast transport protocol, IRMA provides ACK aggregation, local recov...
