Network text editor (NTE): A scalable shared text editor for the MBone

IP Multicast, Lightweight Sessions and Application Level Framing provide guidelines by which multimedia conferencing tools can be designed, but they do not provide specific solutions. In this paper, we use these design principles to guide the design of a multicast based shared editor, and examine the consequences of taking a loose consistency approach to achieve good performance in the face of network failures and losses.
