Reliable multicast protocols have gained popularity with active service contributions where routers implement additional functionalities. Reducing the delay of recovery is one of the desirable features of a reliable multicast protocol. In this paper we propose an active-based architecture with specialized routers. Using simulations we show how this architecture with the proposed services (mainly the loss recovery from the receivers and the loss detection at the routers), could improve the performances of a reliable multicast application in term of the recovery delay.
