Selectively Reliable Multicast Protocol
SRMP is a selectively reliable
transport protocol for real-time, multicast distributed applications such
as Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). These applications can be
characterized by the need for multicast communication with low latency
and by the need for the reliable transmission of some, but not all, data.
The protocol operates
in three distinct modes: best-effort multicast, reliable multicast using
negative acknowledgments with NAK suppression mechanisms to avoid congestion
at the sender, and lightweight reliable transaction-oriented unicast.
SRMP is designed
to run in user space and form a sublayer between applications and the
kernel-level Internet protocol stack.
