Actually this is a quite horrible protocol. It is not reliable and you
still need to run regular news feeds. If anyone is really interested in
writing a good reliable multicast new protocol I suggest you read this
internet draft:
Title : The Multicast Dissemination Protocol (MDP) Framework
Author(s) : J. Macker, W. Dang
Filename : draft-macker-mdp-framework-02.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 06/06/1997
And while at it someone write something better than INND. This bag of
c programs, shell, awk, and sed scripts needs to be put to rest. Cheers.
