Description / Abstract:
Introduction
The Multicast Perspectives is a high level view of the processes
involved in rendering CDPD and IP Multicast services. The CDPD
Multicast service features include the following:
a. Multiple M-ESs get a copy of the message, regardless of the
number of M-ESs or their location
b. More efficient use of the network; therefore, it should be
less work for applications
c. Unacknowledged; no confirmation of reception by intended
receivers
d. Data is not encrypted by the network
e. Multicast registrations are authenticated on a per-Multicast
group member basis; each Multicast group member has its own
authentication credentials for a Multicast NEI
f. Application must use UDP-style transport service: TCP-style
transport service is not valid for Multicast.
