N2 - Upcoming applications have demanding communication needs. One requirement is the provision of a reliable high performance multipoint communication service. In order to meet high performance requirements and in order to allow an efficient use of network resources, powerful error control mechanisms are required. This paper presents a novel concept for support of multipoint communication in ATM networks. It is based on a new adaptation layer type, called the Reliable Multicast ATM Adaptation Layer (RMC-AAL), and on a new network element, called the Group Communication Server (GCS). A set of error control mechanisms tailored for multipoint communication are integrated into RMC-AAL and GCS. Error control is based on ARQ and FEC schemes, allowing to select the mechanism that is most suitable for the application requirements in a specific communication scenario. The functionality of adaptation layer and group communication server are described, and a basic implementation architecture is presented. Performance results obtained by means of simulation and analysis are given.
