Multicast control protocol has been proposed to control multicast traffic transparently from the sources and the receivers. We have been developing and implementing this protocol, and this paper introduces the framework of our implementation in the Linux environment and proposes some performance enhancements brought by implementation specific features. This paper also shows the performance evaluation of our implementation. Finally, we clarify the effectiveness and the scalability of this protocol.
