Abstract
Ordered Core Based Tree (OCBT) protocol [SG97] is a relatively new development in the area of multicast routing. It was observed by Shields and Garcia-Luna-Aceves in [SG97] that the CBT protocol with multiple cores has some basic problems. First of all, CBT with multiple cores may result in the formation of loops in the event of unicast routing instability. Secondly, it is also possible that CBT may not form the multicast tree under certain conditions. OCBT provides a modification to the basic CBT protocol with multiple cores to make it loop-free and robust.
