Abstract

An overview of the hierarchical multicast server (HMS) protocol used for ATM multicasting is presented. A description of the architecture of servers, how the hierarchy is formed, establishment of multicast sessions and mobility of various components of the architecture is presented. In the current ATM standards, there is no comprehensive solution to the ATM multicast problem. Our proposal, represents a workable solution in a hierarchical setup suitable for the tactical network. In this proposal, we have used the solutions being developed by the WATM working group of the ATM Forum and addressed issues that are not yet considered by the standards bodies. We feel that this solution can be implemented in the networks, because we do not need to replace other standardized protocols but add to those
