Performance Evaluation of Multicast Overlay Routing Protocols

Performance Evaluation of Mesh - Based Multicast Routing Protocols in MANET’s

Multicasting is a challenging task that facilitates group communication among the nodes using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network. In spite of significant research achievements in recent years, efficient and extendable multicast routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is still a difficult issue. This paper proposes the comparison of ODMR and PUMA...

Overview of Overlay Multicast Protocols

Routing in Overlay Multicast Networks

Multicast services can be provided either as a basic network service or as an application-layer service. Higher level multicast implementations often provide more sophisticated features, and can provide multicast services, where no network layer support is available. Overlay multicast networks offer an intermediate option, potentially combining the flexibility and advanced features of applicati...

Multicast Routing Instabilities Routing Protocols

Multicast 1 is one of the best available service models for scalable, many-to-many delivery of data on the Internet. Multicast achieves scalability by letting sources send a packet only once, regardless of the number of receivers. In network-layer multicast, network elements (routers, switches, and so on) replicate packets at network branching points, delivering copies to all interested receive...

A Performance Comparison of Multipath Multicast Routing Protocols for MANET

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are characterized by dynamic topology, limited channel bandwidth and limited power at the nodes. Because of these characteristics, paths connecting to the source nodes with destinations may very unstable and go down at any time, making communication over ad hoc networks difficult. Multicasting is intended for group-oriented computing. Multicast generally needs a ...
