Although many multicast communication protocols have been recommended at IETF, reliable multicast communications currently rely on programs built at the application layer, e.g., m...
The paper addresses the issue of minimizing the number of nodes involved in routing over a multicast tree and in the maintenance of such a tree in a datagram network. It presents a...
: Multicasting has an increasing importance for network applications such as groupware or videoconferencing. Several multicast routing protocols have been defined. However they can...
The new Path Length Control (PLC) algorithm establishes and maintains multicast trees which maximize the bandwidth to be shared by multiple receivers and which satisfy the maximum...
In this paper, we propose a novel multicast routing algorithm that is based on application-level priorities and network characteristics: The application may specify an individual ...
