- Multicast - What Is It?
- When multiple receivers are required to get the same data at approximately the same time, multicast is a more efficient way of delivering data than unicast. A unicast packet has a single source IP address and a single destination IP address. A multicast packet has a single source IP,...

- Load Balancing for Reliable Multicast
- New applications emerge along with the rapid growth of the Internet. Many functionalities other than packet forwarding are being proposed to be added into routers for supporting those new applications. Those functionalities significantly improve the performances of the applications, but they incur overheads on routers at the same time. It...

- Multicast Routing and Bandwidth Dimensioning in Overlay Networks
- Multicast services can be provided either as a basic network service or as an application-layer service. Higher level multicast implementations often provide more sophisticated features, and can provide multicast services at places where no network layer support is available. Overlay multicast networks offer an intermediate option, potentially combining the flexibility...

- Scalability and Robustness of Virtual Multicast for Synchronous Multimedia Distribution
- A simple UDP packet reflector for virtual multicast multimedia transfer is extended to form a distributed system of active elements that solves the scalability problem of otherwise centralistic approach. The robustness of such virtual multicast delivery system is also discussed and shown to be better than the native multicast can...

- 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...

- Multicast Traffic Aggregation in MPLS-Based VPN Networks
- This paper gives an overview of the current practical approaches under study for a scalable implementation of multicast in Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs over an IP-MPLS multiservice network. These proposals are based on a well-known technique: the aggregation of traffic into shared trees to manage the forwarding-state vs...

- MTCP: Scalable TCP-Like Congestion Control for Reliable Multicast
- The paper presents MTCP, a congestion control scheme for large-scale reliable multicast. Congestion control for reliable multicast is important, because of its wide applications in multimedia and collaborative computing, yet nontrivial, because of the potentially large number of receivers involved. Many schemes have been proposed to handle the recovery of...

- MAC Layer Multicast in Wireless Multihop Networks
- Many applications in wireless ad-hoc networks require multicast communication. In order to provide efficient multicast, various multicast routing protocols have been designed in recent years to facilitate formation of routes between multicast senders and receivers. There has also been some work to develop a suitable MAC protocol to improve efficiency...

- Enhancing Cellular Multicast Performance Using Ad Hoc Networks
- Although multicast communication is well-suited to shared wireless links, receiver heterogeneity impedes the use of multicast in wireless networks. This paper examines an approach that addresses the receiver heterogeneity problem in cellular multicast with the help of an additional IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. The basic idea is to allow...
