Abstract
There has been a lot of work in designing reliable multicast protocols. Most of these protocols evolved out of necessity for solving specific problems. Therefore their design criteria were different, so was the basic design. In spite of these differences, there are a handful of unique features which can be used as a criteria for grouping these apparently different protocols. The following criteria will be used for grouping reliable multicast protocols in this book while keeping in mind that this is not the only way of grouping them.

Notes
Variations of this approach divide the file into smaller units called blocks.
We use RMTP* instead of RMTP to differentiate this protocol from Bell Laboratories’ RMTP.
