Abstract
Active Networking embodies rapid development and deployment of new services. A network service typically consists of two or more cooperating protocols. In this paper, we describe a case study applying a composite protocol framework to developing a multicast network service. The composite protocol framework provides a rigorous mechanism to check protocol behavior before deployment. Our multicast serviced incorporates protocols for multicast routing, creation of spanning trees, reliable replication of multicast data and joining/leaving multicast groups. These protocols are built from re-usable components and communicate by means of global memory.
