ABSTRACT
The effects of multicast operations on the performance of distributed systems are evaluated by means of approximate expressions for load and delay characteristics. Different strategies for delivering items of information to large numbers of destinations, when individual transmissions may be faulty, are examined and compared. Experiments show that it is sometimes better to use large multicast groups, while in other cases it is more efficient to pass the item sequentially from node to node. The quality of the approximations is evaluated by simulations.

Datagram routing for internet multicasting
We present a solution to the problem of multidestination routing in internetworks. The component subnets of these internets share a common datagram internet layer, and the gateways and hosts can determine the next gateway en route to a foreign net. Our ...
IP multicasting over ATM networks
The Internet protocol (IP) multicast model involves a combination of intrasubnet and intersubnet multicast mechanisms. Technologies supporting a given subnet are expected to have native mechanisms for supporting intrasubnet forwarding of packets sent to ...
