Abstract

The group protocol has to support applications with enough quality (QoS) and types of service in change of QoS supported by the underlying network and QoS requirements of applications. A flexible group service is supported for applications by cooperation of multiple autonomous agents. A group protocol to coordinate the cooperation of the agents is composed of a collection of functions like retransmission and receipt confirmation. Each agent dynamically and autonomously takes a class of module for each protocol function in change of QoS supported by networks and required by application.
