Abstract
A packet format for multicast messages which designates a single receiver to send an acknowledgment to the multicast message. The designated receiver responds to the multicast message with an acknowledgment. If the designated receiver does not respond to the multicast message, the message is resent. The resent message may designate a different receiver for acknowledging the message.
