....multicast schemes, active network elements (e.g. routers) are also required to participate in the session and maintain state information. Using a rough taxonomy, reliable multicast protocols are classified as taking either the sender initiated approach or the receiver initiated approach [4][5]. Sender initiated protocols, often relying on ACK based schemes, embrace the unicast notion of reliability and its accompanying techniques. According to this approach, the sender is responsible for providing reliability by maintaining explicit group membership knowledge along with a detailed ....
....of group membership is eliminated along with its substantial overhead. Performance analysis of these two approaches have shown that receiver initiated protocols have better scalability properties than sender initiated protocols, in terms of maximum protocol throughput and processing requirements [5]. The performance of the sender initiated approach depends on the number of receivers and therefore does not scale well, whereas the performance of the receiver initiated approach remains independent of that factor, as long as loss probability is negligible. When losses become imminent, ....

....authors of [2] examine many to many group communication protocols and compare different group topologies (tree, ring) and sender initiated vs. receiver initiated protocols. They find that in general receiver initiated protocols in a tree topology perform better than all other reviewed classes. In [3], the authors compare the throughput of sender initiated and receiver initiated reliable multicast protocols. Their analysis shows the general superiority of a receiver based approach. The backoff mechanisms we use in our protocol proposal are described in [4] An approach to avoiding NAK ....
