This is because the current interdomain infrastructure lacks the necessary tools to efficiently handle packet loss and the security needed to create a functional business model.
MFTP is both secure and reliable and runs on top of IP Multicast protocol.
SMART takes advantage of SIMPLE (Self Implementing Multicast Protocol Level Escalation) This evolution highlights how SMART Multicast continues to meet the growing demands for efficient and reliable data transmission in modern networks.
