Abstract
This document highlights the challenges of creating multicast applications, and describes the solutions available or under development. It provides a taxonomy of multicast applications in terms of their requirements, and discusses some existing multicast- based protocols. Many of the solutions--especially in the areas of reliable multicast data delivery, congestion control, and security-- have not yet emerged from the research realms. We describe the general state of on-going research in these areas, highlighting the strategies under investigation.
