Services are provided via a multicast tree. A request to receive a service is received at a node. Stored information at the node is searched to identify a service path or a service node operable to provide the requested service.

Requesting a service from a multicast network

A multicast tree is provided in an application multicast network. A child node in the multicast tree detects a degradation of quality of service associated with a service being received at the child node. The child node determines whether the degradation of quality of service is resulting from a child-parent link or an upstream link in the multicast tree.
