RE: [Rmt] small group replication service, application-level multicast etc.

Do you have a pointer to a description of the Swarmcast ?

Actually, the Swarmcast system that we developed in late 1999 utilized 
Forward Error Correction combined with peer-to-peer (end-system) 
multicast to overcome the first-mile bottleneck in systems like this.

I'd be happy to discuss this approach off-line with anyone that is 
interested.

Thanks,
