Computer networks are undergoing a remarkable transformation. The widespread use of optical fiber to transmit data has made tremendous increases in network bandwidth. Furthermore, greater CPU power, increasing disk capacity, and support for digital audio and video are creating demand for a new class of network services. For example, video-on-demand, distant learning, distant diagnosis, video conferences, and many others applications have popped up one after another in recent years. Many of these services have one thing in common. They all require that the same piece of data be sent to multiple recipients. Even in traditional networks, this operation, called multicasting, can not be handled easily and cheaply. When scaled up to high speed ATM-based networks, the situation could be worse. Multiple streams of data travel around ATM networks. Each tries to send to many different destinations simultaneously. Therefore, designing economical ATM network switches which can support multicasting operations easily is very important in the future generation high speed networks. In the past twelve years or so, many designs for multicasting ATM switches are proposed. It seems about time to do a historical survey. It is hoped that by learning from the wisdom of the previous authors, new spark or angle can be found and exploited to design new multicasting ATM switches. Without easy and inexpensive multicasting, all the exciting services may become unaffordable. This will in turn lead to the diminishing of customer bases and finally will hinder the full-scale deployment of high speed networks.
