Explicit routing in multicast overlay networks

Application Level Multicast is a promising approach to overcome the deployment problems of IP level multicast by establishing delivery trees using overlay links among end systems. This paper presents algorithms to support traffic engineering, to improve the reliability of multicast delivery, and to facilitate secure group communications. First, we introduce the so-called backup multicast tree algorithm to compute a set of n
