Abstract
In this paper we propose a new approach of application-level multicast protocol providing a group communication service. This protocol, called End-System Multicast (ESM), and can be used when native multicast routing is not available. ESM is a centralized protocol where everything is being controlled by a single host called Rendez-vous point (RP L1 ), connected indirectly to the group members via some hosts called secondary Rendez-vous Point (RP L2 ). Each RP L2 has some group members that constitute a cluster, and each cluster is controlled by its RP L2 . Since the group control is divided among some RP L2 and a main controller (RP L1 ) manages the relation among RP L2 s and between itself and RP L2 s , we found that the scalability is improved and it also avoids the bottleneck problem near the RP L1 , or there is a load balance.
