Title : Multicast UDP Usage Guidelines for Application Designers
Author(s) : G. Shepherd
Filename : draft-shepherd-multicast-udp-guidelines
Pages : 9
Date : March 8, 2013
The multi-recipient nature of Multicast prevents the use of any pont-
to-point connection-oriented transport, therefore restricts all
Multicast data to be sent over the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). UDP
provides a minimal message-passing transport that has no inherent
congestion control mechanisms. Because congestion control is
critical to the stable operation of the Internet, applications and
upper-layer protocols that choose to use Multicast UDP as an Internet
service must employ mechanisms to prevent congestion collapse and to
establish some degree of fairness with concurrent traffic. This
document provides guidelines on the use of UDP for the designers of
multicast applications and higher-level protocols.
