Abstract--We explore the use of end-to-end multicast traffic as measurement probes to infer network-internal characteristics. We have developed in an earlier paper [2] a Maximum Li...
—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...
This paper describes the main ideas of DRMTP (Distributed Real-time Multicast Transport Protocol), an adaptive application-level protocol which allows cooperative multicast of rea...
The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) approach will also bring benefits for multicast applications which need quality of service support. For instance, a highly reliable multicas...
