Tree-Based Ordered Multicasting in Computer Networks
Improved resiliency, scalability, and efficiency of concurrent transmissions Allows for the integrated provision of reliability and ordering in the same topology and delivery process in contrast to other solutions that perform ordering in a separate delivery phase Permits ordered concurrent transmissions from rapidly changing sources on the same tree unlike other methods that are only suitable for single-source long-lived transmissions Supports ordered delivery to anonymous hosts and overlapping receiver groups in shared trees
Internet networks, especially for situations that require reliability and ordering of message transmissions
Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz have developed a novel solution for message ordering services integrated with a tree-based, concurrent, reliable multicast. In this system, ordering is performed on a tree, as opposed to a ring, which has been presented in previous reliable multicast protocols. An advantage to the tree configuration is that it supports ordering of messages from rapidly changing sources for overlapping receiver groups and anonymous hosts.
