S. Kinoshita et al., The RealPush network: A new push-type content delivery system using reliable multicasting, IEEE CONS E, 44(4), 1998, pp. 1216-1224
We have developed a new push system that uses the Internet for simultaneous
web content delivery to multiple users. This system is more efficient than
conventional push systems and facilitates the delivery of content in a mor
e timely fashion by using reliable multicasting, This paper reports on the
system's end-user browser software, broadcast servers for content providers
, reliable multicasting for implementing efficient delivery, and a trial se
rvice using this system.
