- MAC Layer Multicast in Wireless Multihop Networks
- Many applications in wireless ad-hoc networks require multicast communication. In order to provide efficient multicast, various multicast routing protocols have been designed in recent years to facilitate formation of routes between multicast senders and receivers. There has also been some work to develop a suitable MAC protocol to improve efficiency...

- Scalable Multicasting in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
- Many potential applications of Mobile Ad hoc Networks MANETs involve group communications among the nodes. Multicasting is an useful operation that facilitates group communications. Efficient and scalable multicast routing in MANETs is a difficult issue. In addition to the conventional multicast routing algorithms, recent protocols have adopted the following new...

- Enhancing Cellular Multicast Performance Using Ad Hoc Networks
- Although multicast communication is well-suited to shared wireless links, receiver heterogeneity impedes the use of multicast in wireless networks. This paper examines an approach that addresses the receiver heterogeneity problem in cellular multicast with the help of an additional IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. The basic idea is to allow...

- Load Balancing for Reliable Multicast
- New applications emerge along with the rapid growth of the Internet. Many functionalities other than packet forwarding are being proposed to be added into routers for supporting those new applications. Those functionalities significantly improve the performances of the applications, but they incur overheads on routers at the same time. It...

- MTCP: Scalable TCP-Like Congestion Control for Reliable Multicast
- The paper presents MTCP, a congestion control scheme for large-scale reliable multicast. Congestion control for reliable multicast is important, because of its wide applications in multimedia and collaborative computing, yet nontrivial, because of the potentially large number of receivers involved. Many schemes have been proposed to handle the recovery of...

- PIM vs. DVMRP
- I'm working on a multicast audio routing system, and I'm having trouble with switch flooding and hanging up.I think I've gotten it under control, by using more strict QOS/COS settings.The multicast audio hardware MFG. recommends using a cisco catalyst with CGMP and PIM denseI'm using a Dell PowerConnect with IGMP...

- Hybrid Reliable Multicast With TCPXM
- Much work has been done on attempting to scale multicast data transmission to hundreds or thousands of receivers. There are, however, many situations where an application might involve transmission to just ten or twenty sites. The European Space Agency, for example, carries out regular multi-gigabyte bulk data transfers to a...

- Multicast on MCI Private IP
- Most customer equipment supports IP multicast, but, because of unfamiliarity with this protocol on the part of IT managers, few Private IP customers take advantage of this efficient way of distributing a wide variety of data and multimedia applications. The information in this paper illustrates the basics of multicast...

- Multicast Routing Simulator Over MPLS Networks
- Multicast and MPLS are two complementary technologies. Merging these two technologies where multicast trees are constructed over MPLS networks will enhance performance and present an efficient solution for multicast scalability and control overhead problems. This paper presents a simulator for multicast routing over an MPLS network where it chooses PIM-SM...

- How the IP Multicast Router Works
- Multicasting allows a host to transmit an IP datagram to a set of hosts that form a multicast group. Every member in a multicast group that uses the same multicast address can receive a copy of the IP datagram. Multicast routers are responsible for delivering and copying datagrams to those...

- Enterasys LAN Switching: Deploying IP Multicast Switching
- With the advent of more IP multicast based applications coupled with the deployment of larger switched LANs, the possibility of non-unique MAC address mappings in an IP multicast environment is greatly increased. The presence of non-unique MAC multicast addresses prevents IP multicast capable switches from building independent MAC layer multicast...

- A Dynamic Stateful Multicast Firewall
- Enterprises are faced with the challenge of enabling IP multicast applications without exposing their network to multicast denial-of-service attacks. Current practice is to use firewalls and manually configure them on a per-multicast-session basis. This imposes a high work-load on the network administrator, and severely reduces flexibility for end-users. This paper...

- Source Specific Multicast (SSM) With IPv6
- Source-Specific Multicast SSM is a more recent form of IP Multicast compared to the traditional Any Source Multicast ASM model. In making a fundamental assumption that there is only a single source in a specific Multicast group, simplifications can be made that lead to a new form of multicast that...

- Inter-Domain Multicast
- While deploying multicast in a single domain is now well understood, things are not so well defined. A general purpose multicast inter-domain service is lacking for IPv6, and in practice also for IPv4. This paper describes two possible solutions to provide this service: inter-domain ASM multicast with the Embedded-RP mechanism,...
