Abstract

In this paper we propose a group communication architecture for the Internet. This architecture is implemented as a middleware which provides a separation between a general group communication service model, and the multicast mechanisms used to implement this service. This middleware provides a web-oriented framework for implementing end-to-end group communication services as constrained by specific application needs and available network technologies.
