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...
Abstract— As the multicast-capable part of the Internet continues to evolve, important questions to ask are whether the protocols are operating correctly, the topology is well co...
— We present an approach to multicasting messages among highly mobile hosts in ad hoc networks. We suggest a new definition of a role-based multicast that suits the special need...
—Although IP Multicast is an effective network primitive for best-effort, large-scale, multi-point communication, many multicast applications such as shared whiteboards, multi-pl...
Efficient handling of mobile nodes in a multicast environment is a non-trivial task. Solutions based on bi-directional tunneling introduce encapsulation and triangular routing. Th...
