We study the performance of reliable and unreliable allnode broadcast over ad-hoc networks that use contentionbased channel access. To obtain analytical results while preserving h...
Despite the fact that global multicast is still not possible in today’s Internet, many local networks are already multicastcapable (the so-called multicast “islands”). Howev...
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 Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) is characterized by the lack of any infrastructure, absence of any kind of centralized administration, frequent mobility of nodes, network partitio...
QoS support poses new challenges to multicast routing especially for inter-domain multicast where network QoS characteristics will not be readily available as in intra-domain multi...
