A multicast interface for UNIX 4.3
Larry W. Hughes · Software Practice and Experience · 1988
Abstract The UNIX 4.3 operating system, like its predecessor UNIX 4.2, is designed to allow interprocess communications between pairs of processes using sockets — pairs of integers identifying specific hosts and ports — which are associated with a process. In this paper a software package which allows interprocess communications between many UNIX processes (as opposed to two) is presented.
