A method for the multicast distribution of a message is provided. A first real machine multicasts the message through a network of message processing machines to one or more message receiving machines, wherein the network is organized into two or more cells including machines, and wherein one or more links between cells comprise link bundles. The method includes selecting a spanning tree rooted in the cell including the first real machine, and comprised of the cells and the link bundles. The method determines one or more cells for receiving the message based on the selected spanning tree and the location of the receiving machines, and selects one or more routes from among the machines and links within the cells and link bundles to a next cell. The method further routes the message to the receiving cells in the spanning tree, and delivering the message to the receiving machines within the receiving cells.
