Multicast services have been increasingly used in large scale continuous media applications. The quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of these continuous media applications prompt the necessity for QoS-driven, constraint-based multi-cast routing. This article provides a comprehensive overview of existing multicast routing algorithms, protocols, and their QoS extension. In particular, we classi...

The very important dispute in Multicast routing protocols for Manets below host quality and information measure restraint is generating multi-hop routing. In Manets Multicast routing features a very important half. a range of multicast routing protocols possessing distinctive characteristics are introduced within the previous few years. during this paper we tend to have talked regarding the cur...

Following the iterative research cycle process, this chapter elaborates a methodology and documents the steps followed for the design of a dynamic multicast routing algorithm, referred to as Greedy Compact Multicast Routing. Starting from the design of the dynamic multicast routing algorithm, we then evaluateby simulation on large-scale topologies its performance and compare them with the Abrah...

This paper presents a thorough survey of recent work addressing energy efficient multicast routing protocols and secure multicast routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs). There are so many issues and solutions which witness the need of energy management and security in ad hoc wireless networks. The objective of a multicast routing protocol for MANETs is to support the propagation o...

Routing protocol in wireless sensor network (WSN) has always been a frequently adopted topic of research in WSN owing to many unsolved issues in it. This paper discusses about the multicast routing protocols in WSN and briefs up different forms of standard research contribution as well as significant recent research techniques toward leveraging the performance of multicast routing. The paper th...

Satellite-terrestrial (ST) networks, in which many nodes are interconnected by both satellite and terrestrial networks, can efficiently support multicast services. This is because satellite broadcasting is suitable for a large multicast group and a terrestrial network is suitable for a small multicast group. An ST network requires a multicast routing algorithm that can select the appropriate sa...

This paper presents a new algorithm for dynamic routing of bandwidth guaranteed multicast tunnels with failure backup. The multicast routing problem arises in many contexts such as the routing of point-to-multipoint label switched paths in Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) Networks, and the provision of bandwidth guaranteed services under the “hose” model [4]. Failure backup implies that whe...

A MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself on the fly. Because MANETS are mobile, they use wireless connections to connect to various networks. A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is composed of Mobile Nodes (MNs) without any infrastructure. MNs self-organize to form a network over radio links. In this environment, multicast routing protocols are faced with th...

This study presents a forwarding nodes selection scheme for zone-based multicast routing protocols to reduce transmission routing control overhead. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is demonstrated over mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and compared with the multicast zone routing protocol (MZR) in terms of the routing control overhead and packet delivery ratio. In this work, the proposed s...

In this report, we revisit a much explored topic in networking the search for a simple yet fully general and efficient multicast design. The many years of research into multicast routing have led to a generally pessimistic view that the complexity of multicast routing and interdomain multicast in particular can only be overcome by restricting the service model, as in the case of single-source m...
