Automatic Link Numbering and Source Routed Multicast

We present a new paradigm for multicasting. Our paradigm combines two ideas: a simple distributed algorithm for automatically numbering network links with a small amount of numbers, and a novel forwarding method. We describe our paradigm in detail and discuss its benefits and drawbacks qualitatively and quantitatively. Key words: multicast, link numbering, Steiner trees
