Abstract
Multicast support is a prerequisite for many applications to ensure scalability for large receiver groups. Although multicast support is already available in the Internet, the provided IP multicast service offers only best effort semantics [5]. Several protocols have been proposed to overcome this drawback by a protocol layer on top of IP multicast [7, 10, 16, 19, 20].
