Joe Macker happens to have freely distributable source code.  Folks
interested in MDP and IMM (not INN) might want to goto this URL:
        http://tonnant.itd.nrl.navy.mil/ipresearch/rm.html

Folks seriously working on reliable multicast protocol design
should look into the IRTF Reliable Multicast Research Group...

All IMHO,
