Abstract(in English) Most applications in the current Internet follow the multicast paradigm, not the unicast one that ruled the design of TCP/IP. Overlay approach, however, cannot provide sufficient efficiency to support the forthcoming trillions of contents (groups). Unfortunately, IP multicast, which would have been an incarnation of the multicast paradigm in the network layer, had not been deployed widely. In this paper, we discuss research directions for multicasting, by examining the forwarding plane, apart from the control plane that was the main focus in the traditional IP multicast. We define external functions of multicast forwarding and introduce the unique taxonomy on the basis of state management. We, then, compare the stateless multicast, which frees routers from state management, with the traditional stateful approach like IP multicast. Our analysis reveals that the stateless approach has several advantages over the stateful one, in scalability of contents, operability, and route stability.
