    ABSTRACT:: This paper describes a protocol to support point-to-point
               vinterprocessor communications with multicast. Dynamic,
               cut-through routing with local flow control is used to
               provide a high-throughput, low-latency communications path
               between processors. In addition, multicast transmissions are
               available, in which copies of a packet are sent to multiple
               destinations using common resources as much as possible.
               special packet terminators and selective buffering are
               introduced to avoid deadlock during multicasts. A simulated
               implementation of the protocol is also described.
