This work deals with the multicast transmission of data using multiple multicast groups. One reason to use multiple groups is to address the potential heterogeneity of receivers. But there is a risk that some of the groups are not used and sending data to a group with no receiver has many costs that are often underestimated. As IP multicast becomes widely deployed and used, these issues may well compromise its scalability.In this paper we introduce a new protocol, ODL (On Demand Layer Addition), which enables a source to use only the layers that are actually required by the current set of receivers. We describe its behavior when used with several kinds of packet scheduling schemes (cumulative or not) and different scenarios (one-to-many versus many-to-many). We have implemented the ODL protocol, integrated it in the MCL multicast library and we report several experiments that assess its benefits.
