However, it will be equally useful for a wide range of professionals in this research field.  \u003cp\u003eMulticast routing was introduced with the advent of multiparty applications (for example, videoconferencing on the Internet) and collaborative work (for example, distributed simulations). It is related to the concept of group communication, a technique introduced to reduce communication costs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe various problems of multicast routing on the Internet are examined in detail. They include: group membership management, quality of service, reliability, safety, scalability and transport. Throughout the text, several protocols are introduced in order to analyze, compare and cover the various aspects of multicast routing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbderrahim Benslimane\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Avignon, France.
