ABSTRACT:
An improved network for communication of message packets. The present invention provides for improved reliable multicast messaging wherein messages may be reliably multicast to members of a multicast group and acknowledgements may be handled in an improved and efficient manner. In particular, a message may be transmitted to all members of a group, each member of the group responding to receipt of the message with an acknowledgement message. Further, facility is provided to allow for transmissions of reminder messages in the event one or members of a group do not respond to a message with an acknowledgement.
