Abstract

The origins of IP multicasting go back to 1986. However, multicasting in its current form was introduced only in 1989. During 20 years of IP multicasting, the service has been evolving continuously – new multicast transport protocols have been designed, new group management protocols have been developed and new transport protocols and multicast applications have appeared. Nowadays, IP multicast is a mature solution, and concepts and protocols designed for multicasting are also used in non-multicast services.
