Abstract
Building a wide area group communication system is a challenge. This
paper presents the design of the transport protocols of the Spread
wide area group communication system. We focus on two aspects of the
system. First, the value of using overlay networks for application
level group communication services. Second, the requirements and
design of effective low latency link protocols used to construct
wide area group communication. We support our claims with the results
of live experiments conducted over the Internet.
