Hi there,

Does anybody know a network protocol that supports point-to-multipoint
communications? (i.e. multicast). As far as I know TCP/IP it does not
support this. If you want to send some information to n destinations, you
have to open one connection for each of them. How about other protocols?
(SNA, DECnet, Novell, ...) Are there any experimental protocols, de-facto
standards etc. for this task? It seems very strange to me that one never
hears about this issue, for e.g. satellites are a natural broadcast medium.


Thank you very much for your responses

Please e-mail to: peter@piassun1.joanneum.ac.at
I will summarize for the net.

Peter
