Hybrid Reliable Multicast With TCPÂXM
Overview Much work has been done on attempting to scale multicast data transmission to hundreds or thousands of receivers. There are, however, many situations where an application might involve transmission to just ten or twenty sites. The European Space Agency, for example, carries out regular multi-gigabyte bulk data transfers to a handful of destinations. Using multicast for this type of application can provide significant benefits including reduced load on the transmitter, an overall reduction in network traffic, and consequently shorter data transfer times. This paper takes a fresh look at the problem of deploying reliable multicast.
