Group communication supports information transfer between a set of participants. It is
becoming more and more relevant in distributed environments. For distributed or replicated …

We present, prove correctness for, and evaluate a protocol for the reliable broadcast of
topology and link-state information in a multihop communication network with a dynamic …

Many distributed and parallel applications can make good use of broadcast communication.
In this paper we present a (software) protocol that simulates reliable broadcast, even on an …

In this paper, an algorithm for efficient network-wide broadcast (NWB) in mobile ad hoc
networkds (MANETs) is proposed. The algorithm is performed in an asynchronous and …

A distributed program is presented that ensures delivery of a message to the functioning
processors in a computer network, despite the fact that processors may fail at any time. All …

We deal with communication networks whose topology changes arbitrarily subject to the
restriction that no edge-cut in the network persists forever. Up to now, no formal-ground rules …

The efficiency with which multicast communication can take place is largely determined by
the network level support available for such communication. Two factors contribute to the …

Concurrent broadcast involves the dissemination of a database, consisting of messages
initially distributed among the nodes of a network, so that a copy of the entire database …

A description is given of the token-passing multicast (TPM) protocol, a token-based protocol
that provides reliable, ordered multicast communication for distributed process groups in the …

Broadcast is the task of delivering copies of a packet to all nodes in a communication
network. A broadcast is called reliable if all the packets are accepted by all the nodes in …
