RMCM: Reliable Multicasts For Core-Based Multicast Trees
White Papers Most existing reliable multicast schemes focus on source-based multicast trees. They either cannot be directly deployed in core-based multicast trees or may render sub-optimal performance when directly deployed.

Introduction To Multicast Routing
White Papers This paper introduces basic multicast routing concepts and theory including the differences between unicast, broadcast and multicast traffic, multicast addressing, IGMP, DVMRP, PIM DM, PIM SM, Shared Trees vs.

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

Optimising Multicast Structures For Grid Computing
White Papers Hierarchical multicast trees are constructed by repeated application of clustering algorithms that partition the members of a large application community to form a layered hierarchy of clusters of users.

Characterizing Achievable Multicast Rates In Multi-Hop Wireless Networks
White Papers Given a source, and a set of receivers, the authors would like to find the set of multicast trees and a schedule such that the rate that the source can multicast to the receivers is maximized. This paper considers the multicast throughput...

Enterasys LAN Switching: Deploying IP Multicast Switching
White Papers The presence of non-unique MAC multicast addresses prevents IP multicast capable switches from building independent MAC layer multicast delivery trees for each IP multicast group thus causing some overlapping delivery of unnecessary IP multicast...

A Comparison Of Network Coding And Tree Packing
White Papers This paper compares network coding solutions and routing solutions, namely packing distribution trees, for the problem of information multicast. To enable the comparison, the paper develops greedy tree packing algorithms that repeatedly pack the...

Bandwidth Constrained IP Multicast Traffic Engineering Without MPLS Overlay
White Papers The objective is that, through plain PIM-SM shortest path routing with optimized Multi-topology IS-IS (MISIS) link weights, the resulting multicast trees are geared towards minimal consumption of bandwidth resources.

Heterogeneous Multicast In Heterogeneous QoS Networks
White Papers The idea of foresting is to support a heterogeneous multicast by a forest of homogeneous multicast trees. Supporting heterogeneous receivers in a multicast group is of particular importance in large internetworks as, e.g.the Internet due to the...

Minimizing Interference In Ad Hoc And Sensor Networks
White Papers This paper studies the problem of minimizing the average interference while still maintaining desired network properties, such as connectivity, point-to-point connections, or multicast trees. Reducing interference is one of the main challenges in...

PIM-SM Multicast Routing Protocol
White Papers It uses the traditional IP multicast model of receiver-initiated membership, supports both shared and shortest-path trees, is not dependent on a specific unicast routing protocol, and uses soft-state mechanisms to adapt to changing network...

Multipath Unicast And Multicast Video Communication Over Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
White Papers It is shown that Serial MDTMR achieves reasonable tree connectivity while maintaining disjointness of two trees, and that it outperforms single tree multicast communication. For the multicast case, a multiple tree multicast streaming is proposed as...
