| Abstract: | We suggest a new scheme for reliable multicast in ATM networks, based on Rabin's information dispersal algorithm (IDA). Given a packet of size $m$, that has to be transmitted to $n$ receiver nodes, the paper presents a rThe average message and time complexities of the algorithm are proved to be within a constant multiplicative factor of the optimum. andomized algorithm which terminates within $O(\log n)$ phases, and sends $O (\log m)$ NACK messages, on the average; its storage complexity is proportional to the size of the original packet, while the number of retransmissions is linear in the number of cells lost in the initial transmission of the packet. |
