Issues in Multicast Protocols

by unknown authors
"... ) directs its efforts towards design and evaluation of methods supporting scalable group communications in networks. These efforts build on the concept of IP Multicast and have the common theme of deploying several distribution centers (“cores”) in the network that cooperatively participate in a mul ..."

multicast protocol. This approach (proposed previously as “hierarchical multicores”) has the obvious goal of scalability through state reduction (limiting growth of the amount of information to be stored with network growth). Our investigations come in several flavors that can be characterized as: graph

VULNERABILITIES OF RELIABLE MULTICAST PROTOCOLS

by Thomas M. Parks, David A. Kassay, Clifford J. Weinstein
"... We examine vulnerabilities of several reliable multicast protocols. The various mechanisms employed by these protocols to provide reliability can present vulnerabilities. We show how some of these vulnerabilities can be exploited in denial-of-service attacks, and discuss potential mechanisms for wit ..."

Semantically Reliable Multicast Protocols

by José Pereira, Luís Rodrigues, Rui Oliveira - In Proceedings of the Nineteenth IEEE Symposium on Reliable Distributed Systems , 2000
"... Reliable multicast protocols can strongly simplify the design of distributed applications. However, it is hard to sustain a high multicast throughput when groups are large and heterogeneous. In an attempt to overcome this limitation, previous work has focused on weakening reliability properties. ..."

Network and Multicasting Protocol Strategies

by Pinar Kirci , Abdul Halim Zaim , X Yang , Z Yu , W Zhang
"... Optical technology gains extensive attention and ever increasing improvement because of the huge amount of network traffic caused by the growing number of internet users and their rising demands. However, with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), it is easier to take the advantage of optical net ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
networks and optical burst switching (OBS) and to construct WDM networks with low delay rates and better data transparency these technologies are the best choices. Furthermore, multicasting in WDM is an urgent solution for bandwidth-intensive applications. In the paper, a new multicasting protocol with OBS

A High Performance Totally Ordered Multicast Protocol

by Brian Whetten , Todd Montgomery, Simon Kaplan , 1994
"... This paper presents the Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP). RMP provides a totally ordered, reliable, atomic multicast service on top of an unreliable multicast datagram service such as IP Multicasting. RMP is fully and symmetrically distributed so that no site bears an undue portion of the communica ..."

An efficient multicast protocol for content-based publish-subscribe systems

by Guruduth Banavar, Tushar Ch, Bodhi Mukherjee, Jay Nagarajarao, Robert E. Strom, Daniel C. Sturman , 1999
"... Abstract. The publish/subscribe (or pub/sub) paradigm is a simple and easy to use model for interconnecting applications in a distributed environment. Many existing pub/sub systems are based on pre-defined subjects, and hence are able to exploit multicast technologies to provide scalability and avai ..."

A Performance Comparison Study of Ad Hoc Wireless Multicast Protocols

by Sung-Ju Lee , William Su, Julian Hsu, Mario Gerla, Rajive Bagrodia , 2000
"... In this paper we investigate the performance of multicast routing protocols in wireless mobile ad hoc networks. An ad hoc network is composed of mobile nodes without the presence of a wired support infrastructure. In this environment, routing/multicasting protocols are faced with the challenge of pr ..."

The PGM Reliable Multicast Protocol

by Jim Gemmel, Todd Montgomery Talarian, Tony Speakman, Nidhi Bhaskar, Cisco Systems , 2003
"... Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) is a reliable multicast transport protocol that runs over a best effort datagram service, such as IP multicast. PGM obtains scalability via hierarchy, forward error correction, NAK elimination, and NAK suppression. It employs a novel polling scheme for NAK delay ..."
