According to Lar's note, the list will not remain open and will be shut shortly.

In any case, thanks to the many who participated in SAM RG over the years.

Dear all,

the RFC editor has published the last document of our group today. This means that we close the research group formally, as it had persisted for clearing the publication pipeline over the last months.

Since the work in the area of hybrid adaptive multicast proceeds, we will keep the mailing list open. Please feel welcome to exchange ideas and announce new developments in this forum.

Thanks to all for the productive time!

Thomas

Group communication services exist in a large variety of flavors and technical implementations at different protocol layers.  Multicast data distribution is most efficiently performed on the lowest available layer, but a heterogeneous deployment status of multicast technologies throughout the Internet requires an adaptive service binding at runtime.  Today, it is difficult to write an application that runs everywhere and at the same time makes use of the most efficient multicast service available in the network.  Facing robustness requirements, developers are frequently forced to use a stable upper-layer protocol provided by the application itself.  This document describes a common multicast API that is suitable for transparent communication in underlay and overlay and that grants access to the different flavors of multicast.  It proposes an abstract naming scheme that uses multicast URIs, and it discusses mapping mechanisms between different namespaces and distribution technologies.  Additionally, this document describes the application of this API for building gateways that interconnect current Multicast Domains throughout the Internet.  It reports on an implementation of the programming Interface, including service middleware.  This document is a product of the Scalable Adaptive Multicast (SAM) Research Group.
