Are Multicast Protocols Right Choice?
nBroadcast protocols only explored for broadcast purposes,
but can also be employed for multicasting
nAnother alternative is to use unicasting, creating appropriate
number of 1-to-1 communication pairs
nOur approach/contribution of the paper:
ØCompare unicast, multicast, and broadcast protocols under
same scenarios
ØEvaluate under one-to-many and many-to-many communication
patterns
