The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) approach will also bring benefits for multicast applications which need quality of service support. For instance, a highly reliable multicas...
IP multicasting has naturally been considered the ideal technique to be used with multimedia communications. Unfortunately, current multicast protocols do not consider the dynamic...
Network bottlenecks, firewalls, restrictions on IP Multicast availability and administrative policies have long prevented the use of multicast even where the fit seems obvious. ...
Resource and service discovery, data transfer or replica management, are some examples of basic operations of a grid which can gain efficiency by using multicast transmission tech...
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 mobile ad-hoc networks, the multicast paradigm is of central importance. It can help to save scarce medium bandwidth if packets are to be delivered to multiple destinations. We...
Multicast, or one-to-many, communication arises frequently in parallel computing and telecommunication applications. Multicast networks can simultaneously support multiple multicas...
This paper introduces a multicast based architecture for supporting large scale Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). The paper begins by defining CVEs, discussing the motivat...
As multicast applications are deployed for mainstream use, the need to secure multicast communications will become critical. Multicast, however, does not t the point-to-point mod...
