The Multimedia Multicast Channel is a dissemination-oriented communication abstraction providing a service analogous to that of a cable television broadcast channel. A source transmits multimedia information such as video and audio streams onto a channel, and a varying number of receivers “tune in” to the channel to receive a selected set of the streams. To support heterogeneity, each receiver may tailor the selected streams to meet individual needs through the use of filters. The design encourages a very loose coupling between the source and the receivers, promoting open-loop control for the underlying network protocols.
