Title: Reliable Multicast Transport Building Block:Tree based ACK (TRACK) Mechanisms
State: Pending
Authors: Dah Ming Chiu
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-01-07
The Reliable Multicast Transport (RMT) Working Group has been chartered to
standardize reliable multicast transport services and protocol
instantiations, which include the tree-based ACK (TRACK) protocol. This
document describes the RMT Building Block for Tree- based ACK (TRACK)
mechanisms. It contains functions relating to positive acknowledgments and
hierarchical tree construction and maintenance. It might primarily be used
as part of the TRACK Protocol Instantiation. According to the charter, a
building block is 'a coarse-grained modular component that is common to
multiple protocols along with abstract APIs that define a building block's
access methods and their arguments.' The TRACK BB mechanisms will operate
on the logical ACK-tree that is configured by the TREE BB [10] in the TRACK
PI sessions. This document is made based on the guidelines for the RMT BB
