چکیده

Recent advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance for clusters of workstations. Realizing collective communication over reliable multicast can achieve higher performance than over reliable unicast primitives. The standard IP multicast, however, only supports unreliable multicast, which is di cult to use for building high level message passing routines. Thus, reliable multicast primitives must be implemented over the standard IP multicast to facilitate the use of multicast for high performance communication on clusters of workstations. Although many reliable multicast protocols have been proposed for the wide area Internet environment, the impact of special features of local area networks (LANs) on the performance of the reliable multicast protocols has not been thoroughly studied. E cient reliable multicast protocols for LANs must exploit these features to achieve the best performance. In this paper, we present our implementation of four types of reliable multicast protocols: the ACK{based protocols, the NAK{based protocols with polling, the ring{based protocols, and the tree{based protocols. The protocols are implemented over IP multicast using the standard UDP interface. We evaluate the performance of the protocols over Ethernet{connected networks, study the impact of some special features of the Ethernet on the performance of the protocols, and investigate the methods to exploit these features to improve communication performance. i

Exploring the design space of reliable multicast protocols for wireless mesh networks

Many important applications in wireless mesh networks require reliable multicast communication, i.e., with 100% packet delivery ratio (PDR). Previously, numerous multicast protocols based on automatic repeat request (ARQ) have been proposed to improve the packet delivery ratio. However, these ARQ-based protocols can lead to excessive control overhead and drastically reduced throughput. In this ...

Research on multicast routing protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is composed of mobile nodes without any infrastructure. Mobile nodes self-organize to form a network over radio links. The goal of MANETs is to extend mobility into the realm of autonomous, mobile and wireless domains, where a set of nodes form the network routing infrastructure in an ad-hoc fashion. The majority of applications of MANETs are in areas where rapid...

A Multicast Transport Protocol Design Methodology: Analysis, Implementation and Performance Evaluation

In this paper, we propose and analyze a multicast application called SOMA (SynchrOnous Multicast Application) which offers multicast file transfer service in an asymmetric intra-campus environment (several interconnected wired and wireless LAN networks interconnected through few routers). For efficient bandwidth utilization, SOMA transmits IP packets by using multicast addressing. We also propo...
