Abstract :
An algorithm is proposed to make broadcast reliable; the authors subsequently use the reliable broadcast to support reliable, unacknowledged packet transfers in connectionless protocols. The ack-per-packet protocols are shown to have poor recovery characteristics, with built-in positive feedback loops. The proposed protocol addresses the issues of an efficient recovery from node-wide problems while providing efficient use of LAN and CPU bandwidths
