A Reliable and Scalable Multicast Model (RSM2)

Multicasting is the ability of a communication network to accept a single message from an application and to deliver copies of the message to multiple recipients at different location. With the emergence of mobile users, many existing Internet -protocols, including those with multicast support, need to be adapted in order to offer support to this increasingly growing class of users. The authors' research in multicasting, as to design a Multicast Model, which provides reliability & scalability with best path for data delivery. Reliability means guaranteed Delivery of packets. Scalability means capability to serve growing needs.
