Distributed multicast address management in the global Internet.

Distributed multicast address management in the global Internet.

We describe a distributed architecture for managing multicast addresses in the global Internet. A multicast address space partitioning scheme is proposed, based on the unicast host address and a per-host address management entity. By noting that port numbers are an integral part of end-to-end multic...
