“…Sincoskie and Cotton [27] propose a multicast routing algorithm for link-layer bridges which supports a type of group in which all senders must also be members of the group. Such groups are acceptable for some applications, such as computer conferencing, but are not well suited to the common client/server type of communication where the (client) senders are generally not members of the (server) group and should not receive packets sent to the group.…”

Multicasting, the transmission of a packet to a group of hosts, is an important service for improving the efficiency and robustness of distributed systems and applications. Although multicast capability is available and widely used in local area networks, when those LANs are interconnected by storeand-forward routers, the multicast service is usually not offered across the resulting internetwork. To address this limitation, we specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithmsdistance-vector routing and link-state routing-to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN. We also describe modifications to the single-spanning-tree routing algorithm commonly used by link-layer bridges, to reduce the costs of multicasting in large extended LANs. Finally, we discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.

The author's personal perspective on the development of broadband packet switching from 1980 to 1995 is presented in the context of the Internet's development during the same timeframe. The development of today's Internet is also placed into a 40-year perspective of a mature deployment of a national broadband packet infrastructure. A conclusion that today's Internet represents about 0.1 percent of the deployment of a national petabit per second capacity broadband packet network, and that we have moved roughly halfway through the development and deployment timeline is developed. Along the way, the author gives his personal perspective on the development of, and the researchers who developed, technologies like packet voice, Ethernet bridging, ATM, the CNRI gigabit testbeds, and local ATM. The article last discusses the efforts at transitioning the Internet from academic to commercial service.

Multicasting is used within local-area networks to make distributed applications more robust and more efficient. The growing need to distribute applications across multiple, interconnected networks, and the increasing availability of high-performance, high-capacity switching nodes and networks, lead us to consider providing LAN-style multicasting across an inter-network. In this paper, we propose extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms~istance-vector routing and link-state routingto support low-delay datagram multicasting. We also suggest modifications to the single-spanning-tree routing algorithm, commonly used by link-layer bridges, to reduce the costs of multicasting in large extended LANs. Finally, we show how different link-layer and network-layer multicast routing algorithms can be combined hierarchically to support multicasting across large, heterogeneous iotemetwo*s.
