Abstract
The recent growth in use of the World Wide Web in the Internet has caused a
significant increase in the demand placed on Web servers. This increased load
results in noticeably longer response times for users. We propose an approach
to using multicast in the delivery of Web resources that reduces the load on
servers as well as the networks that connect them. We analyze the issues
involved in using multicast in the Web, especially those related to routing
and addressing. We also discuss the design and implementation of a system
based on the existing WWW client and server architecture and
the multicast support provided within IP.
