ABSTRACT
<p><b>Abstract</b>—In this paper, we reevaluate the message cost of Jia's multicast mechanism. Our analysis shows that its message cost should be (<it>D</it> + <it>k</it> + 1) instead of (<it>D</it> + 2), where <it>D</it> is the depth of the subtree and <it>k</it> is the number of metagroups containing the destination multicast group.</p>
INDEX TERMS
Multicast protocols, group communication, message ordering, distributed systems, process synchronization.
