In this paper, we propose a new Tree Switching Protocol (TSP) to reduce multicast routing states required for a forest of multicast trees. The protocol accomplishes this goal by s...
IP multicast was first proposed to improve the performance of applications that require group communications. Still, many years after its initial proposal, IP multicast is not wi...
—Switch-trees are peer-to-peer algorithms for building and improving end-host multicast trees. Nodes switch parents to reduce tree cost or lower source-member latency. A node swi...
In this paper, we present, QoSMIC, a multicast protocol for the Internet that supports QoS-sensitive routing, and minimizes the importance of a priori con guration decisions such...
This paper presents a new algorithm for dynamic routing of bandwidth guaranteed multicast tunnels with failure backup. The multicast routing problem arises in many contexts such a...
