This study investigates the issues of scalability, throughput stability and efficient buffering in reliable multicast protocols. The focus is on a new class of scalable reliable multicast protoco, PBcast that is based on an epidemic loss recovery mechanism. The protocol offers scalability, throughput stability and a bimodal delivery guarantee as the key features. A theoretical analysis study for the protocol is already available.
