TL;DR: An adaptive algorithm is demonstrated that uses the results of previous loss recovery events to adapt the control parameters used for future loss recovery, and provides good performance over a wide range of underlying topologies.

TL;DR: The protocol independent multicast (PIM) architecture maintains the traditional IP multicast service model of receiver-initiated membership, supports both shared and source-specific (shortest-path) distribution trees, and uses soft-state mechanisms to adapt to underlying network conditions and group dynamics.

TL;DR: An adaptive algorithm that uses the results of previous loss recovery events to adapt the control parameters used for future loss recovery is demonstrated, and the reliable multicast delivery algorithm provides good performance over a wide range of underlying topologies.

TL;DR: The Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) architecture maintains the traditional IP multicast service model of receiver-initiated membership and uses soft-state mechanisms to adapt to underlying network conditions and group dynamics, which make it well suited to large heterogeneous inter-networks.

TL;DR: The robustness, exibility, and scaling properties of this architecture make it well suited to large heterogeneous inter-networks, and it uses soft-state mechanisms to adapt to underlying network conditions and group dynamics.
