Multicast protocol implementation and validation in an ad hoc network testbed
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our experiences in implementing and validating the On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) in a real wireless ad hoc network testbed. ODMRP maintains a mesh for each multicast group to provide multiple alternate paths. Redundancy created by the mesh helps overcome frequent topology changes resulting from node mobility, channel fading, and interferences. The protocol does not maintain permanent route tables with full topological views. Instead, multicast senders reactively and dynamically discover routes and obtain multicast group information on demand. ODMRP is implemented in our testbed network consisting of six hosts using the kernel level multicast support option built into the Linux operating system. We describe the key design and implementation features of our protocol and report preliminary testbed experiment results of ODMRP and DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol), a traditional tree based scheme.

Unicast performance analysis of the ODMRP in a mobile ad hoc network testbed
The On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) is an effective and effwient routing protocol designed for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. One of the major strengths of ODMRP is its capability to operate both as a unicast and a multicast routing protocol. This versatility of ODMRP can increase network effziency as the network can handle both unicast and multicast traffw with one protocol We d...

متن کاملLessons Learned from Implementing Ad-hoc Multicast Routing in Sensor Networks
The mobile ad-hoc networking (MANET) community has proposed a wide range of protocols for unicast and multicast routing through mobile wireless devices. Many of these protocols have been studied only under simulation using simplistic radio models, and do not consider issues such as bandwidth or memory limitations. In contrast, the sensor network community has demanded solutions that work on har...

A mobile ad hoc network comprises of a group of wireless mobile centre points dynamically forming a local network without the use of any related network topology or centralized administration. For supporting collaborative applications among a group of mobile user’s multicast is a best efficient method as it implements group communication easily. Group communication and scalability are important...
