A classification of multicast mechanisms: implementations and applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a taxonomy of multicast protocols in distributed computing systems. It classi®es multicast protocols based on a four-dimensional model which is derived from the analysis of both application requirements and design goals of multicast mechanisms. The four dimensions are atomicity, ordering, real-time delivery and fault tolerance. Multicast protocols can be described by parameters in these four dimensions with dierent degrees of strength. This classi®cation model captures the main features of all multicast mechanisms. It can help users to: (1) describe, analyze and evaluate multicast mechanisms; (2) specify clearly the required multicast properties; (3) build more structured multicast mechanisms and reduce the complexity of implementations; (4) design ̄exible multicast mechanisms which customize users' needs at run-time.

Security testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
متن کاملA 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 ...

متن کاملImplementation of an IPv6 multicast firewall testbed
Multicasting architecture is essential for the delivery of a variety of multimedia applications. IPv6 provides a very comprehensive range of protocols to deal with this delivery mechanism. However few, if any, implementations exist for this architecture in IPv6. The objective of this paper therefore is to describe the implementation of a testbed in which the mechanisms of multicast IPv6 can be ...
