Abstract:
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is a reliable multicast transport
protocol that runs over a best effort datagram service, such as IP multicast. PGM
obtains scalability via hierarchy, forward error correction, NAK elimination, and
NAK suppression. It employs a novel polling scheme for NAK delay tuning to
facilitate scaling up and down. This article describes the architecture of PGM, and
discusses performance and security issues. We show that PGM supports
asymmetric networks, achieves high network utilization, and is capable of high-
speed (> 100 Mb/s) operation. PGM is currently an IETF experimental RFC that has
been implemented in both commercial and academic settings.
