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...
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...
— Multihoming and overlay routing are used, mostly separately, to bypass Internet outages, congested links and long routes. In this paper, we examine a scenario in which multihom...
Protocol extensions for a mobile Internet have been developed within the IETF, but a standard design of mobile multicast is still awaited. Multicast routing, when adapting its dis...
In this paper we investigate and evaluate the performance of multicast routing in grooming capable multi-layer optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. New waveleng...
