A Case for End System Multicast

by Yang-hua Chu, Sanjay G. Rao, Srinivasan Seshan, Hui Zhang - in Proceedings of ACM Sigmetrics , 2000
"... Abstract — The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal, IP Multicast is still plagued with concerns pertaining to scalability, network management, deployment and suppor ..."

of multicast support from routers to end systems has the potential to address most problems associated with IP Multicast. However, the key concern is the performance penalty associated with such a model. In particular, End System Multicast introduces duplicate packets on physical links and incurs larger end-to-end

Reliable Communication in the Presence of Failures

by Kenneth P. Birman, Thomas A. Joseph - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1987
"... The design and correctness of a communication facility for a distributed computer system are reported on. The facility provides support for fault-tolerant process groups in the form of a family of reliable multicast protocols that can be used in both local- and wide-area networks. These protocols at ..."

Network information flow

by Rudolf Ahlswede, Ning Cai, Shuo-Yen Robert Li, Raymond W. Yeung - IEEE TRANS. INFORM. THEORY , 2000
"... We introduce a new class of problems called network information flow which is inspired by computer network applications. Consider a point-to-point communication network on which a number of information sources are to be mulitcast to certain sets of destinations. We assume that the information source ..."

Scalable molecular dynamics with NAMD.

by James C Phillips , Rosemary Braun , Wei Wang , James Gumbart , Emad Tajkhorshid , Elizabeth Villa , Christophe Chipot , Robert D Skeel , Laxmikant Kalé , Klaus Schulten - J Comput Chem , 2005
"... Abstract: NAMD is a parallel molecular dynamics code designed for high-performance simulation of large biomolecular systems. NAMD scales to hundreds of processors on high-end parallel platforms, as well as tens of processors on low-cost commodity clusters, and also runs on individual desktop and la ..."

ALMI: An Application Level Multicast Infrastructure

by Dimitrios Pendarakis, Dinesh Verma, Sherlia Shi, Marcel Waldvogel , 2001
"... The IP multicast model allows scalable and efficient multi-party communication, particularly for groups of large size. However, deployment of IP multicast requires substantial infrastructure modifications and is hampered by a host of unresolved open problems. To circumvent this situation, we have de ..."

that the performance penalties, introduced by this shift of multicast to end systems, is a relatively small increase in traffic load and that ALMI multicast trees approach the efficiency of IP multicast trees. We have also implemented ALMi as a Java based middleware package and performed experiments over the Internet

VL2: Scalable and Flexible Data Center Network”,

by Albert Greenberg , James R Hamilton , Navendu Jain , Srikanth Kandula , Changhoon Kim , Parantap Lahiri , David A Maltz , Parveen Patel , Sudipta Sengupta - ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review, , 2009
"... Abstract To be agile and cost e ective, data centers should allow dynamic resource allocation across large server pools. In particular, the data center network should enable any server to be assigned to any service. To meet these goals, we present VL, a practical network architecture that scales t ..."

Ants: A toolkit for building and dynamically deploying network protocols

by David J. Wetherall, John V. Guttag, David L. Tennenhouse - IEEE OPENARCH 98 , 1998
"... We present a novel approach to building and deploying network protocols. The approach is based on mobile code, demand loading, and caching techniques. The architecture of our system allows new protocols to be dynamically deployed at both routers and end systems, without the need forcoordination and ..."
