A system and method of providing a reliable and efficient multicast data transfer mechanism in a communication network. The mechanism includes a plurality of computer nodes and one or more data system managers wherein each of computer nodes and each of data system managers are connected through the said communication network. The method generally comprises the steps of setting up of an association among one or more computer nodes as senders and one or more computer nodes as receivers using a combination of unicast and multicast protocols and transmitting one or more packets of data through the said multicast protocol by one or more senders to one or more receivers. The receivers may collaborate among themselves to ensure delivery of said one or more packets of data reliably to the collaborating receivers.
