Book excerpt: The main contribution of the paper is the introduction of a spectrum of abstractions for multicast communication, in increasing order of both desirability and semantic level: functional mapping, iterators, and streams. Examples of distributed algorithms from the literature are used to illustrate the expressive power of each mechanism. Streams in particular provide first-class status for multicast communciation in progress, and can be implemented efficiently in typical multicast communication architectures."
