Sixrm: Full Mesh Reliable Source Ordered Multicast

In this paper we describe Sixrm, a reliable multicast protocol that supports multiple sources that are at the same time multiple destinations and that works both on ipv4 and on ipv6. The protocol is completely configurable by profile settings and is implemented completely in Java Standard Edition 1.5. The protocol is included on the distributed server part of network middleware for large scale mobile and pervasive augmented reality that we also introduce in this paper, and supports the ordering of messages by source without duplicates and its reliable delivery to the application, without the support of network elements
