Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to discuss problems, requirements and current trends for deploying group communication in real-world scenarios from an integrated perspective.

Design/methodology/approach – The Hybrid Shared Tree is introduced – a new architecture and routing approach to combine network – and subnetwork-layer multicast services in end-system domains with transparent, structured overlays on the inter-domain level.

Findings – The paper finds that The Hybrid Shared Tree solution is highly scalable and robust and offers provider-oriented features to stimulate deployment.

Originality/value – A straightforward perspective is indicated in the paper for a mobility-agnostic routing layer for future use.
