Integration of the Concast service and SENCOMM

SENCOMM is an active monitoring, management, and control project developed
at the Internetwork Research department at BBN Technologies. Concast is a
many-to-one best-effort network service developed here at UK's ActiveCast
group that allows a receiver to treat a group of senders as a single entity.  
Both projects are part of the DARPA Active Networks program.  This talk 
presents the work I did at BBN this summer.  I will describe SENCOMM, 
define the Concast service, present the design to make the Concast Service 
available to SENCOMM applications, and discuss the challenges I had to 
overcome to support it in SENCOMM. I will also present examples of 
concast-enabled SENCOMM applications.
