Abstract :
IP multicast has proven to be very good for many-to-many multimedia communications like audio and video conferencing. However there are only a few Internet service providers offering it as a true Internet service to their customers. The reason is that nowadays, IP multicast has many issues like billing, authentication, security protection against malicious people and so on. In fact, DoS attacks can be easily caused in IP multicast-enabled networks. We describe how to solve some of these problems
