Could you link to papers that discuss Multicast Traffic Engineering for WAN (including inter-datacenter networks) with focus on reliable bulk transfers?
Are you looking at protocols like PIM? Or is it to do with designing reliable transport layer for multicast protocols ?
Dear Mohammad Noormohammadpour,
a new idea for sending the Multicast ( MC) data in networks is called BIER (Bit Index Explicit Replication). This idea does not need MC-specific virtual trees to send MC data. See for this the activities of the IETF working group:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/bier/documents/
Further sources of information about BIER:

The following classical MC routing protocols are specified as internet standards:
- DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) (RFC 1075),
- MOSPF (Multicast OSPF) (RFC 1584),
- PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast): PIM-SM (PIM-Sparse Mode) (RFC 4601) and PIM-DM (PIM-Dense Mode) (RFC 3973),
- CBT (Core Based Trees) (RFC 2189, RFC 2201),
- MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) (RFC 3618) und
- BGMP (Border Gateway Multicast Protocol) (RFC 3913).
In practice, the MC routing protocols PIM and MSDP are of great importance.
The principle of MC Routing as well as the protocols PIM-SM and MSDP are presented in Section 10.6 of the book:

@Siddharth_Makadia Thanks for your reply, reliable multicasting approaches that perform bulk data transfers.
