Abstract. Core-based multicast trees use less router state, but have significant drawbacks when compared to shortest-path trees, namely higher delay and poor fault tolerance. We e...
Native multicast routing protocols have been built and deployed using two basic types of trees: singlesource, shortest-path trees and shared, core-based trees. Core-based multicas...
A core-based group-shared multicast tree is a shortest path tree rooted at core node that distributes packets to and from all group members. Traditionally, the bandwidth cost cons...
IP multicast suffers from scalability problems for large numbers of multicast groups, since each router keeps forwarding state proportional to the number of multicast tree passing ...

This paper proposes DINloop (Data-In-Network loop) based multicast with GMPLS (generalized multiprotocol label switching) to overcome the scalability problems existing in current i...
