Abstract

With IP Multicast not gaining wide acceptance, researchers turned to alternative multicast mechanisms like application level multicast. Application level multicast protocols arrange the participating hosts into an overlay topology; maintain it and distribute data packets over that topology. In this paper, we propose a new application level multicast protocol, describe a few well-known protocols, simulate the protocols and compare the results.
