Core-based trees (CBT) is a proposal for making IP Multicast scalable by constructing a tree of routers.
It was first proposed in a paper by Ballardie, Francis, and Crowcroft.
What differentiates it from other schemes for multicasting is that the routing tree comprises multiple "cores" (also known as "centres").
The locations of the core routers are statically configured.
