A real-time fault-tolerant multicast protocol is necessary for obtaining high performance in operating distributed real-time computing systems. The purpose of this paper is to show the efficiency of RFRM (Release-time based Fault-tolerant Real-time Multicast) protocol which is based on the idea of attaching the official release time to each multicast message. As a part of this, a real-time simulation based on the TMO structuring scheme is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach. We experiment a real-time multicast model which does not receive ack-messages toward reducing the message traffic on the network by employing fault detection mechanism. Simulation results promised the efficiency of the proposed real-time multicast protocol.
