Summary:Large-scale applications are characterized by a large number of
dynamic and often interactive group members. The nature of these
applications is such that participants are not interested in all the
content transmitted. We examine three currently available techniques to
scope delivery of content to interested receivers in IP multicast:
filtering, where data is filtered by middleware before being passed to
the application; addressing, where data is routed only to those
receivers that express their interest; and hybrid approaches. We propose
a framework that models large-scale application behavior. We use this
framework to evaluate the performance of these applications and related
protocols when the network is capable of filtering or addressing. Our
results show that the current Internet architecture does not efficiently
support large-scale applications because it can not efficiently manage
multiple multicast groups. We show that network-level addressing is
preferred to filtering and hybrid approaches given that groups are easy
to create and manage. We highlight areas of research in the multicast
architecture to bring about this change
