Abstract :
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 more 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 service using this system
