Motivation
Unicast – problem with bottlenecks. IP Multicast – many problems, still cannot be used on the Internet.
Multicast router

Our Approach – Xcast6 Treemap Islands (X6Ti)
Xcast-aware router
Normal router
What is X6Ti?
• A hybrid model of Network Layer Multicast (NOT IP Multicast) and Peer-to-Peer.
Requirements for X6Ti?• X6Ti installed at end-hosts and IPv6 support (MUST).• Xcast-aware router (OPTIONAL).
