Pragmatic General Multicast
Pragmatic General Multicast ( PGM ) is a multicast transport protocol for applications in which data is transmitted in a sorted or unsorted manner from multiple sources to multiple destinations.
The protocol ensures that data is transmitted without duplicates and that a group of recipients receives the data without loss. Any data loss is corrected or shown as irreparable. PGM is specially designed to work in an environment in which reliable data transmission is a prerequisite. The central design goal is easy scalability and efficient network utilization.
