چکیده

This paper considers multicasting on wavelength-routing mesh optical networks. Although multicasting has been studied extensively in different network environments, multicasting in this environment is different, and more involved. The paper discusses the challenges of multicast support in optical wavelength routing networks, and reports on the advances made so far in this venue. The paper introduces a classification and a comparison of such techniques, and a study of their advantages and disadvantages.

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...

A Survey on Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

There are many benefits of multicasting using with network. The communication cost reduced by multicasting for applications that sends the same data to many recipients instead of sending via multiple unicast. This paper gives a general survey of multicast routing protocols in Mobile adhoc Networks (MANETs). The multicast routing protocols are divided into two categoriesmulticast routing based o...

A Survey on Energy Efficient Multicasting in Ad Hoc Networks

Design of a suitable routing protocol is difficult for mobile ad hoc networks due to its inherent dynamism and frequent topology change. Multicasting is even more complex because it requires transmission of an information to various destinations at approximately same time, if possible. Active research work in this field has resulted in a variety of proposals based on tree or mesh structures. Th...

Traffic Groomed Multicasting in Sparse-Splitting WDM Backbone Networks

As the interest of the Internet multicasting increases, the huge portion of the future traffic in optical WDM networks is expected to be strongly related to multicast applications and thus the technology for grooming such traffics also becomes important. In this study, we investigate the problem of multicast traffic grooming in WDM optical mesh networks with sparse-splitting capability. The pro...
