IB - Reliable Multicast Transport protocol

 
Goals
-
To use idle bandwidth to pre-load caches with objects
that might be of interest in the future.
-
The workstation and network resources may be idle when the user is
browsing the page.
The idea is to make use of available bandwidth (if
any)
-
Use offline mechanism i.e repair request is send only if data is
requested by someone.
The cache knows everything that is missing and could make
a single request for that.
