Bandwidth Constrained IP Multicast Traffic Engineering Without MPLS Overlay

Existing multicast Traffic Engineering TE solutions tend to use explicit routing through MPLS tunnels. This paper shifts away from this overlay approach and address the bandwidth constrained IP multicast TE directly based on link state IGP routing protocols. The objective is that, through plain PIM-SM shortest path routing with optimized...

An Empirical Study of Reliable Multicast Protocols Over Ethernet - Connected Networks

Off late advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance in clusters of workstations. The standard IP multicast, however, only supports unreliable multicast, which is difficult to use for building high level message passing routines. Thus, reliable multicast primitives must be implemented over the standard...

Guidelines for Enterprise IP Multicast Address Allocation

The key to solving or simplifying many of these issues is a solid addressing policy. Without a correctly planned and scoped IP multicast addressing scheme, customers will face more complex configurations, which significantly decrease the control of IP multicast over the network and increase administration and support overhead. The objective...

How the IP Multicast Router Works

Multicasting allows a host to transmit an IP datagram to a set of hosts that form a multicast group. Every member in a multicast group that uses the same multicast address can receive a copy of the IP datagram. Multicast routers are responsible for delivering and copying datagrams to those...
