XMSF Overlay Multicaster (XOM) • August ‘02 Monterey workshop identified many-to-many multicasting with Quality of Service as a significant technology gap for Web-enabled M&S • and overlay multicast as a solution • approach emerging at CMU, MIT, elsewhere • Funding not available for prototype in 2003 • did a study instead (published in DS-RT’03 paper) • but we have been able to create a pre-prototype as GMU/NPS student project • potential: multicast with QoS-priority Internet-wide! • also compatible with reliable multicast development XMSF Activities
