While the IP unicast service has proven successful, extending end-to-end adaptation to multicast has been a difficult problem. Unlike the unicast case, multicast protocols must su...
This paper presents the new Shortest Best Path Tree (SBPT) algorithm for multicast trees. The SBPT algorithm establishes and maintains dynamic multicast trees which maximize the b...
Abstract— Heterogeneous multicast is an efficient communication scheme especially for multimedia applications running over multihop networks when multicast receivers in the same...
Group communication primitives have broad utility as building blocks for distributed applications. The challenge is to create and maintain the distributed structures that support ...
