Overview:

This paper presents a performance study, using both analytical modeling and simulation techniques, of a new end-to-end reliable multicast protocol for use in environments with wireless access. The proposed protocol, known as the Reliable Mobile Multicast protocol (RM2), divides a multicast tree into sub-trees where subcasting is applied within these relatively smaller regions using a hierarchical tree of Retransmission Servers (RSs). RM2 is receiver oriented [Pingali, 94] in that the transmitter does not need to know its receivers, hence offering better scalability. The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is used to manage group membership whereas the IETF's Mobile IP offers support to user mobility through a care-of address (temporary IP address).
