Abstract

To make registration and confirmation of groups and confirmation of data transmission more scaleable, particularly for large groups, the size of a host list pruned in subsequent transmission. This host list management can be achieved by (a) creating a message that includes a list of one or more receivers;(b) sending the message over a network; (c) receiving over the network one or more replies from one or more of the receivers; (d) identifying each receiver for which one of the replies was received and establishing another message that includes the list with the identified receivers; (e) sending the message established in step (d) over the network; (f) creating a modified list by removing the identified receivers from the list; and (g) if there are one or more receivers on the modified list, repeating steps (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) using the modified list as the list.
