Zusammenfassung:	This white paper outlines a simple protocol framework that was developed for reliable multicast dissemination of data files. It also provides some historical development and testing history. The general framework described here was originally developed and used by the Image Multicaster (IMM) application within the Internet Mbone for reliable multicast file transfer. This document describes the more general use of the protocol framework as a reliable bulk file transfer technique. We discuss the present operational modes, some performance issues, and the basic application data units (ADUs) used. This is not intended to be a detailed protocol specification document, but rather a broad description of the basic protocol features and a discussion of issues. Prepared in collaboration with the University of Hawaii.
