Abstract :
Applications with closed membership require membership control, which means that only authorised sources can send multicast packets and only registered members can receive them. However, IP multicast does not provide membership control since any user can send and receive multicast packets. We propose MUlticast with MEmbership Control (MUMEC), a multicast protocol with membership control.
