Multicast Routing and Bandwidth Dimensioning in Overlay Networks
White Papers Multicast services can be provided either as a basic network service or as an application-layer service. Higher level multicast implementations often provide more sophisticated features, and can provide multicast services at places where no network...

Multicast - What Is It?
White Papers When multiple receivers are required to get the same data at approximately the same time, multicast is a more efficient way of delivering data than unicast. A multicast packet has a single source IP, but it has a multicast destination IP address...

Multicast Services for IP Triple-Play Networks
White Papers Multicast is a well-established bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces traffic by allowing a host to send packets to a subset of all hosts as a group transmission instead of having to send packets to every single user.

Multicast Protocol Implementation and Validation in an Ad Hoc Network Testbed
White Papers This paper presents the experiences in implementing and validating the On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) in a real wireless ad hoc network testbed. ODMRP maintains a mesh for each multicast group to provide multiple alternate paths.
