IP Multicast Support in MPLS

by Arup Acharya, Frédéric Griffoul, Furquan Ansari
"... Multicast support in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) network has yet to be defined. An MPLS network consists of label switching devices such as ATM. This document discusses both dense-mode and sparse-mode IP multicast within the context of MPLS networks. Unlike unicast routing, dense-mode mul ..."

ABSTRACT Multicast Support for Collaborative Networking

by L. A. Flynn, H. P. Dommel
"... Collaboration infrastructures are gradually coming of age, supporting real-time audio and video with a mixture of network core and edge based techniques to enable large-scale, multi-party communication. User participation in collaborative activities requires mechanisms to support dynamic group membe ..."

membership and maintenance of perpetually changing delivery topologies. In the past, multicast support has been studied within testbeds such as the MBone, and across overlay architectures. In this paper we tackle the problem of how network-native multicast can help to orchestrate the formation of virtual

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 ..."

and support for higher layer functionality such as error, flow and congestion control. In this paper, we explore an alternative architecture that we term End System Multicast, where end systems implement all multicast related functionality including membership management and packet replication. This shifting

Scalable Application Layer Multicast

by Suman Banerjee, Bobby Bhattacharjee, Christopher Kommareddy , 2002
"... We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer multicast peers and can support a number of different data deliv ..."

Multicast and IP Multicast support in Wireless Sensor Networks

by Jorge Sá Silva, Tiago Camilo, Pedro Pinto, Ricardo Ruivo, André Rodrigues, Filipa Gaudêncio, O Boavida
"... Abstract- Multicast potentially optimises bandwidth consumption and node resources, when several users simultaneously participate in a communication session. Nevertheless, contrary to the expectations, IP multicast has not experienced widespread deployment, with the exception of IPTV. On the other h ..."

? This paper discusses and evaluates the use of multicast in WSNs. Specifically, we evaluate the use of Source-Specific Multicast, as it is one of the most promising paradigms for IP networking, considering both IPv4 and IPv6 in WSNs. A sensor platform with IP and multicast support that is being developed

Multicast Routing in Datagram Internetworks and Extended LANs

by Stephen E. Deering, David R. Cheriton - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1990
"... Multicasting, the transmission of a packet to a group of hosts, is an important service for improving the efficiency and robustness of distributed systems and applications. Although multicast capability is available and widely used in local area networks, when those LANs are interconnected by store- ..."

-and-forward routers, the multicast service is usually not offered across the resulting internetwork. To address this limitation, we specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms-distance-vector routing and link-state routing-to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN. We also

Resilient Multicast Support for Continuous-Media Applications

by Rex Xu, Xu Andrew, C. Myers, Hui Zhang, Raj Yavatkar , 1997
"... The IP multicast delivery mechanism provides a popular basis for delivery of continuous media to many participants in a conferencing application. However, the best-effort nature of multicast delivery results in poor playback quality in the presence of network congestion and packet loss. Contrary to ..."

Multicast Support for Nimrod: Requirements and Solution Approaches

by Ram Ramanathan, Group Ram Ramanathan, Status Of This Memo - Internet-Draft, draft-ietf-nimrod-multicast-01.ps, BBN Systems and Technologies , 1996
"... Nimrod does not specify a particular solution for multicasting. Rather, Nimrod may use any of a number of emerging multicast techniques. We identify the requirements that Nimrod has of a solution for multicast support. We compare existing approaches for multicasting within an internetwork and discus ..."

SCRIBE: A large-scale and decentralized application-level multicast infrastructure

by Miguel Castro, Peter Druschel, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Antony Rowstron - IEEE JOURNAL ON SELECTED AREAS IN COMMUNICATIONS (JSAC , 2002
"... This paper presents Scribe, a scalable application-level multicast infrastructure. Scribe supports large numbers of groups, with a potentially large number of members per group. Scribe is built on top of Pastry, a generic peer-to-peer object location and routing substrate overlayed on the Internet, ..."

A Case for Dense-Mode Multicast Support in MPLS

by Mozafar Bag-mohammadi, Siavash Samadian-barzoki, Mohammad Nikoopour, Nasser Yazdani, Naser Rezaee

It consumes no label from unicast label space. Label swapping is not required at all, since we use just one label for each multicast t ..."
