Application-Layer Multicast Extensions to REsource LOcation And Discovery

Overview

RFC 7019, “Application-Layer Multicast Extensions to REsource LOcation And Discovery”, is an Experimental document published in September 2013 by J. Buford, M. Kolberg. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

We define a REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) Usage for Application-Layer Multicast (ALM) as well as a mapping to the RELOAD experimental message type to support ALM. The ALM Usage is intended to support a variety of ALM control algorithms in an overlay-independent way. Two example algorithms are defined, based on Scribe and P2PCast.

This document is a product of the Scalable Adaptive Multicast Research Group (SAM RG).
