Project Overview |
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM)
is a reliable multicast transport protocol that aims to provide reliability and scalability
within IP multicast data communications. The main goal, as outlined within
RFC 3208 is to cater for:
...applications that require ordered or unordered, duplicate-free, multicast data delivery from multiple sources to multiple receivers. PGM guarantees that a receiver in the group either receives all data packets from transmissions and repairs, or is able to detect unrecoverable data packet loss.rPGM is a router implementation of the Pragmatic General Multicast protocol. The initial implementation has been carried out at the kernel level in FreeBSD. This implementation provides most of the functionality required of a PGM capable router. Further work is now being carried out to extend this implementation with a planned focus on:
