How to do high-speed multicast right!
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multicast is an important technique for the distribution of data to groups of receivers. While in the past multicast traffic was restricted to slower transmission rates, newer networking equipment supports multicast in hardware and allows multicast traffic up to line rates of several hundreds of megabits and even gigabits. This evolution generates new opportunities for applications but also major risks for network operation. This paper presents several practical methods for high-speed multicast based on Gigabit Ethernet, IP Routing, and ATM. Important factors are discussed that limit the theoretical transmission rates in practice. Also methods are presented to avoid network problems, which may be caused by multicast rates of several hundred megabits.

Row/Column-First: A Path-based Multicast Algorithm for 2D Mesh-based Network on Chips
In this paper, we propose a new path-based multicast algorithm that is called Row/Column-First algorithm. The proposed algorithm constructs a set of multicast paths to deliver a multicast message to all multicast destination nodes. The set of multicast paths are all of row-first or column-first subcategories to maximize the multicast performance. The selection of row-first or column-first appro...
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 ...

Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...
متن کاملOn Scheduling Unicast and Multicast Traffic in High Speed Routers
Researchers have thus far considered scheduling unicast and multicast traffic separately, and have paid little attention to integrated schedulers. To this end, we present a new integrated scheduler that considers both unicast and multicast traffic simultaneously and also addresses key shortcomings of existing approaches. Specifically, we outline a scheduler that achieves 100% throughput, and un...
متن کاملSlicing Broadcast Disks
Because a multicast data server or broadcast disk can have clients of very different network capacities, the server needs to offer its repository of data items at a variety of transmission speeds to service clients’ varied requests. In this paper, we study how to slice a server’s available outgoing network capacity into data channels, how to assign the server’s data to those channels, and how t...
