Abstract

This paper examines the issues of implementation and integration in multicast. A framework for multicast forwarding is presented, which separates multicast forwarding from any associated protocols that may affect the forwarding decisions, such as multicast routing, resource management and host membership protocols. This framework allows seamless integration of various associated protocols and provides a unified interface for new development.
