An analysis of a router-based loss detection service for active reliable multicast protocols

چکیده
Group communications (multicast) are foreseen to be one of the most critical yet challenging technologies to meet the exponentially growing demands for data distribution in a large variety of applications of the Internet (grid computing, web applications, distributed simulations. . . ). When reliability is required, there is no straightforward solutions and meeting the objectives of reliable multicast is not an easy task. Active networks open a new perspective in providing more efficient solutions for the problem of the reliability. In this context, routers are able to perform customized computations on the messages flowing through them. In this paper, we propose a new active service which consists in a loss detection service to be deployed into routers. We also show how the loss detection service can improve the performances of the DyRAM active reliable multicast protocol in term of the recovery delays making DyRAM suitable for applications requiring low latencies.

متن کاملAnalysis of hybrid router-assisted reliable multicast protocols in lossy networks
Router-assisted concepts have been proposed in many research areas including reliable multicast protocols. These concepts can limit the implosion and repair locality problems in an effective way by attributing the role of repair locality to the specific router close to the point of packet loss. Several router-assisted reliable multicast protocols have been proposed in the literature. However, t...
