Vulnerabilities of reliable multicast protocols

We examine vulnerabilities of several reliable multicast protocols. The various mechanisms employed by these protocols to provide reliability can present vulnerabilities. We show how some of these vulnerabilities can be exploited in denial-of-service attacks, and discuss potential mechanisms for wit...

Summary:We examine vulnerabilities of several reliable multicast protocols. The various mechanisms employed by these protocols to provide reliability can present vulnerabilities. We show how some of these vulnerabilities can be exploited in denial-of-service attacks, and discuss potential mechanisms for withstanding such attacks.
