    1314'''R.1:''' It has been decided that a feedback-free reliable multicast protocol will be used and that all feedbacks will be sent through TCP. This is because then

    1416- reliable feedbacks can then be ensured,
    1517- explicit control over the feedback message content can be allowed,

    2023MCLv3 is an Open Source Implementation of the ALC and the NORM Reliable Multicast Protocols. Of these 2 protocols, only the use of the ALC/LCT protocol is being explored here. This is because the ALC/LCT protocol is feedback-free and also it provides an unlimited scalability. NORM lacks both these attributes.
