HostCast: a new overlay multicasting protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
Though the merits of IP-based multicast is undeniable, the deployment of IP multicast has met many difficulties. In the past several years, lots of research work have been done on overlay multicast (end-system multicast, application-layer multicast). In this paper, we propose a new overlay multicast protocol: HostCast. Besides constructing a data delivery tree, HostCast uses a simple and efficient approach to form an overlay mesh for control and maintenance. The mesh can effectively facilitate the overlay multicasting. HostCast improves the reliability of overlay multicast tree and decreases the convergence time as demonstrated by the results obtained via simulation.

In this thesis, we will present solutions for end users on how to profit from efficient data transmission and dissemination using multicasting with Quality of Service (QoS) support. Multicasting is one of the most efficient mechanisms to distribute data from one sender to multiple receivers concurrently. Since IP Multicasting is not widely deployed in the Internet today, Overlay Multicast has b...

Overcast is an application-level multicasting system that can be incrementally deployed using today’s Internet infrastructure. These properties stem from Overcast’s implementation as an overlay network. An overlay network consists of a collection of nodes placed at strategic locations in an existing network fabric. These nodes implement a network abstraction on top of the network provided by th...

Overlay multicasting has been proposed for implementing multicast routing in the application layer as a practical alternative to IP multicasting. Since a packet in overlay multicasting is transmitted via unicast routing between the end hosts, the same packet can be sent over a link multiple times, and thus the main challenge in overlay multicasting is organizing the multicast delivery trees to ...

Multicasting can provide an efficient way of delivering data from a sender to a group of receivers. It has received much attention over the past decade because of an increasing demand for group communication applications such as multimedia streaming. However, native IP multicast has not become widespread largely due to its technical and operational issues. To overcome these obstacles of deploym...
