Dynamic real-time IP-based publish-subscribe group collaboration using multicast label filters

Internet based enterprise level collaboration tools enable organisations to make decisions faster and more accurately with less effort. However, these tools provide limited real-time group collaboration within and across organisations. This paper proposes a novel IP network layer filter architecture that provides efficient and scalable real-time group collaboration between the required entities within an organisation. This proposed network architecture uses a label filter mechanism to improve privacy, scalability and bandwidth for one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many real-time communication on an existing multicast group in an organisation.
