A primary +design goal of MDP is to provide a reliable multicast protocol approach +which is suitable for reliable dissemination of data over both wireless +and wired networks. + +MDP software has been demonstrated across a range of network architecture +and heterogeneous conditions including; the worldwide Internet MBone, +bandwidth and routing asymmetric network connections, high delay satellite +networks, and mobile, radio networks. MDP version 2, the latest software +release and ongoing work, integrates numerous multicast protocol advances +including highly robust, packet-based erasure correction techniques and +adaptive group timing mechanisms. + +The present MDPv2 software release has a defined API library and several +example working applications including a multicast file transfer applications +and a very basic multicast chat application. To learn more and/or download +the software see the following sections. |
