Abstract
Multicast provides effective information transfer between a set of group members. Reliability is an important issue in multicast, it's different from that of the point-to-point communication. This paper analyses the problems in reliable multicast and the solutions. It introduces a reliable multicast protocol that has been used in current networks.
