This method in conjunction with a method for implementing the multicast routing protocol as a transport protocol layer service for endpoints provides an internet wide multicast transport service. The multicast transport service provides the capability of transmitting data from a single source to multiple receivers on interconnected networks efficiently and without having to send duplicate copies of the data on any single network. Routers and endpoints transmit and receive multicast packets in a manner which is independent of the network layer datagram protocols used by the multicast transport service. Multicast control packets are exchanged using a multicast transaction protocol which allows routers and endpoints to execute transactions in a manner that does not require either routers to know the state of specific endpoints or endpoints to know the state of specific routers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Inventors: Green; Mark A.

This method in conjunction with a method for implementing the multicast routing protocol as a transport protocol layer service for endpoints provides an internet wide multicast transport service. The multicast transport service provides the capability of transmitting data from a single source to multiple receivers on interconnected networks efficiently and without having to send duplicate copies of the data on any single network. Routers and endpoints transmit and receive multicast packets in a manner which is independent of the network layer datagram protocols used by the multicast transport service. Multicast control packets are exchanged using a multicast transaction protocol which allows routers and endpoints to execute transactions in a manner that does not require either routers to know the state of specific endpoints or endpoints to know the state of specific routers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Inventors: Green; Mark A.
