SEM: A New Small Group Multicast Routing Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently several multicast mechanisms [3], known as small group multicast, were proposed that scale better with the number of multicast sessions than traditional multicast does. In this paper, we propose a new approach, Simple Explicit Multicast (SEM), which uses an efficient method to construct multicast trees and deliver multicast packets. SEM is original because it adopts the source-specific channel address allocation, reduces forwarding states in non branching node routers and implements data distribution using unicast trees.

A New Method based on Intelligent Water Drops for Multicast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
In recent years a new type of wireless networks named wireless mesh networks has drawn the attention of researchers. In order to increase the capacity of mesh network, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi channel wireless mesh networks. Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...
متن کاملDifferential Destination Multicast - A MANET Multicast Routing Protocol for Small Groups
In this paper we propose a multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The protocol—termed Differential Destination Multicast (DDM)—differs from common approaches proposed for MANET multicast routing in two ways. Firstly, instead of distributing membership control throughout the network, DDM concentrates this authority at the data sources (i.e. senders) thereby giving source...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Multicast for Small Conferences
Many new Internet applications require data transmission from a sender to multiple receivers. Unfortunately, the IP Multicast technology used today suffers from scalability problems, especially when used for small and sparse groups. Multicast for Small Conferences aims at providing more efficient support for example to audio conferences. In this work, we present a performance study of the conce...
متن کاملAn Hybrid Explicit Multicast/unicast Recursif Approach for Multicast Routing Ali Boudani and Bernard Cousin
In this paper, we propose a new approach, Simple Explicit Multicast (SEM), which uses an efficient method to construct multicast trees and to deliver multicast packets to all destinations. In order to construct a multicast tree, the source encodes the list of destination addresses in a branch message. This message discovers the tree branching routers and creates a multicast routing state in eac...
متن کاملMulticast for Small Conferences
This paper describes a concept to support scalable multicast communications for small audio / video conferencing groups in the Internet. The solution presented in this paper is based on extensions of IPv6 and the session description protocol (SDP). A goal of the concept called Multicast for Small Conferences (MSC) is the smooth deployment in the Internet. 1. Scalable Multicast Techniques Teleco...
