Abstract— This paper investigates the reliability of applicationlevel multicast based on a distributed hash table (DHT) in a highly dynamic network. Using a node residual lifetim...
: Multicasting has an increasing importance for network applications such as groupware or videoconferencing. Several multicast routing protocols have been defined. However they can...
In traditional overlay multicast network, all peers are treated as equal regardless of their importance and contribution to the network. In this paper, we consider that each user ...
Overlay multicast streaming is built out of loosely coupled end-hosts (peers) that contribute resources to stream media to other peers. Peers, however, can be malicious. They may ...
—A hybrid protocol for application level multicast (HPAM) for live video streaming without native IP multicast support is proposed. HPAM exploits the simplicity and optimality of...
