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
nOwn study:
–Compare
unicast, multicast, and broadcast protocols under same scenarios
–Evaluate
under one-to-many and many-to-many communication patterns
