Most approaches to scalable reliable multicast utilize receiver-oriented retransmission. Defining an API for receiver-oriented reliable multicast is difficult because it is not clear how to manage the sender’s cache and to schedule repairs. We outline an approach to defining an API based on logical cache persistence that addresses these problems.
