In the paper a multicast architecture for programmable networks based on separation of group management and network control tasks is proposed. Thanks to this separation, services which want to make use of multicast communications no longer have to implement low-level network functionalities and their operation is greatly simplified. Abstracting service’s view of the network into a fully connected cloud enables us to transparently implement within the network complex features such as host mobility without any disturbances to the operation of the service or it’s clients. Aspects of the multicast architecture such as signaling, addressing, form of data delivery, security and cooperation with legacy applications are discussed; precise requirements for interfaces specified.
