Are Multicast Protocols Right Choice?
n Broadcast protocols only explored for broadcast
purposes, but can also be employed for
multicasting
n Another alternative is to use unicasting, creating
appropriate number of 1-to-1 communication pairs
n Our approach/contribution of the paper:
Ø Compare unicast, multicast, and broadcast protocols
under same scenarios
Ø Evaluate under one-to-many and many-to-many
communication patterns
