Many new applications like groupware systems, news and file
distribution or audio/video systems are based on multicast as a
prerequisite for scalability. Many of these applications need the
multicast support to be reliable, which is realized in a scalable
way by tree based multicast transport protocols, where the receivers
are organized in a ACK tree. Tree based approaches raise the problem
of setting up and maintaining the ACK tree, which is usually done by
variations of the expanding ring search (ERS) approach. In this
paper we present an alternative approach for creating ACK trees
which is based on the concept of a distributed token repository
service. Simulation results show that our approach leads to a lower
message overhead than ERS and results in better shaped ACK trees.
