A Congestion Control Algorithm For Tree-Based Reliable Multicast Protocols
White Papers This paper contains a detailed description of the congestion control algorithm of TRAM, a tree-based reliable multicast protocol. This algorithm takes advantage of regular acknowledgements from the receivers that propagate back to the sender via...

On The Number Of MPLS LSPs Using Multicast Tree Aggregation
White Papers Multicast tree aggregation is an efficient proposition that can solve the multicast forwarding state scalability problem. The results show that for a given set of multicast groups, even when this set includes all the possible groups, the number of...

RMCM: Reliable Multicasts For Core-Based Multicast Trees
White Papers Reliable multicast is one of the important and challenging problems that must be effectively resolved before multicast applications can be fully deployed on the Internet. Most existing reliable multicast schemes focus on source-based multicast trees.

Multicast Routing Simulator Over MPLS Networks
White Papers This paper presents a simulator for multicast routing over an MPLS network where it chooses PIM-SM (source specific tree) as the multicast routing protocol. Multicast and MPLS are two complementary technologies.
