- Report on Testing Application Over PIM-SSM Deployment
- This paper describes the current status of IPv6 and Source Specific Multicast SSM, based on the experiences of running trial networks and applications in the 6NET project. SSM is an alternative multicast architecture to traditional Any Source Multicast ASM; it is simpler and thus generally easier to deploy and debug,...

- 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...

- 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...

- RMCM: Reliable Multicasts for Core-Based Multicast Trees
- 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. They either cannot be directly deployed in core-based multicast trees or may render sub-optimal performance...

- 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,...

- Multicast - What Is It?
- 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 unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address. A multicast packet has a single source IP,...

- Efficient Overlay Multicast for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
- Overlay multicast protocol builds a virtual mesh spanning all member nodes of a multicast group. It employs standard unicast routing and forwarding to fulfill multicast functionality. The advantages of this approach are robustness and low overhead. However, efficiency is an issue since the generated multicast trees are normally not optimized...

- Multicast Routing and Bandwidth Dimensioning in Overlay Networks
- 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 layer support is available. Overlay multicast networks offer an intermediate option, potentially combining the flexibility...

- Guidelines for Enterprise IP Multicast Address Allocation
- The key to solving or simplifying many of these issues is a solid addressing policy. Without a correctly planned and scoped IP multicast addressing scheme, customers will face more complex configurations, which significantly decrease the control of IP multicast over the network and increase administration and support overhead. The objective...

- 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...

- 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...

- Technical White Paper for Multicast VPN
- With the increasingly wide application of Multi-Protocol Label Switching / Border Gateway Protocol Virtual Private Network (MPLS/BGP VPN), the VPN users require the multicast service. Multicast VPN is a technology to deploy the multicast service in an existing MPLS/BGP VPN. It transmits multicast data between private networks by encapsulating the...

- 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...
