A method of ringcasting with improved reliability, in which a participant who is the source of content saves the signal in which the content is found, and compares received signals with the signal in which the content is found to ensure that the content has made it completely around the ring. The method provides a mechanism by which a host channel adapter, in response to receiving a marker message, places selected channel of the host channel adapter in a remote access redirect mode of operation. The discovered IP addresses for each device is thus constantly updated, allowing group members to remain in constant contact.
