Actually this is a quite horrible protocol. It is not reliable and you still need to run regular news feeds. If anyone is really interested in writing a good reliable multicast new protocol I suggest you read this internet draft: Title : The Multicast Dissemination Protocol (MDP) Framework Author(s) : J. Macker, W. Dang Filename : draft-macker-mdp-framework-02.txt Pages : 14 Date : 06/06/1997 And while at it someone write something better than INND. This bag of c programs, shell, awk, and sed scripts needs to be put to rest. Cheers.
