IP Multicast for Mobile Hosts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present alternative designs for efficiently supporting multicast for mobile hosts on the Internet. Methods for separately supporting multicasting and mobility along with their possible interactions are briefly described, and then various solutions to the combined problem are explored. We examine three different multicast delivery mechanisms and compare them based on their efficiency and impact on host protocol software.

Mobile IP-based Multicast as a Service for Mobile Hosts
There is an increasing need to support user mobility in today's computing environments. The incorporation of multicast routing support in a mobile computing environment presents several challenges. Of special interest are mobile multicast schemes suitable for TCP/IP networks in general, and the Internet in particular. This paper outlines a design of network layer modules in a 4.3 BSD UNIX TM sy...
متن کاملSupporting IP Multicast for Mobile Hosts
IP Multicast is an eecient mechanism of delivering a large amount of data to a group of members over the Internet. Link sharing is achieved by a multicast tree that connects all group members. Mobile IP is the proposed standard for IP mobility support and provides two schemes for mobile hosts to receive multicast packets, either through tunneling from the home agent (called home subscription) o...
متن کاملMulticast Support for Mobile Hosts Using Mobile IP: Design Issues and Proposed Architecture
In this paper, we consider the problem of providing multicast to mobile hosts using Mobile IP for network routing support. Providing multicast in an internetwork with mobile hosts is made difficult because many multicast protocols are inefficient when faced with frequent membership or location changes. This basic difficulty can be handled in a number of ways, but three main problems emerge with...
متن کاملTree-Based Reliable Multicast in Combined Fixed/Mobile IP Networks
This paper proposes a solution to delivering multicast data reliably not only to/from fixed hosts but also to/from mobile hosts in combined fixed/mobile IP networks, particularly with regard to the per-source shortest path multicast routing protocol and remote subscription option in IETF mobile IP multicast standard. We propose exploiting tree-based error recovery, well-established concept for ...
متن کاملMobility support for IP Multicast
Multicast and mobility are two important research topics in the Internet nowadays. Although much research has been done in these two areas, mobility support for IP multicast still remains a problem. Most Internet protocols work well only when the hosts are static. Research on mobility support has so far been focused on the unicast case. Mobility support for IP unicast (Mobile IP) mainly aims at...
متن کاملComparison of Ip - Based Wireless Multicast Routing Protocol Amrm Mmp
IP multicasting is a key technology for many existing and emerging applications on the Internet. Furthermore, with increasing popularity of wireless devices and mobile equipment, it is necessary to determine the best way to provide this service in a wireless environment. IETF Mobile IP, that provides mobility for hosts in IP networks, proposes two approaches for mobile multicasting, namely, rem...
