IP multicast plays a very important role in group communication. At the network level IP multicast provides an efficient one-to-many IP packets delivery but without providing any reliability guarantees. Desirable features of reliable multicast include low end-to-end delay, high throughput and scalability. Active networks open a new perspective in providing more efficient solutions to the problems of reliability. However, the existing active reliable multicast protocols are based on receiver-initiated approach for loss recovery. In this paper we propose a new active reliable multicast protocol by combining sender- initiated and receiver-initiated approaches for loss recovery. This approach helps to solve the scalability problems like acknowledgement implosion, recovery load balancing etc.
