Appcast - A Low Stress and High Stretch Overlay Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
With IP Multicast not gaining wide acceptance, researchers turned to alternative multicast mechanisms like application level multicast. Application Level Multicast protocols arrange the participating hosts into an overlay topology; maintain it and distribute data packets over that topology. In this paper, we propose a new application level multicast protocol, describe few well-known protocols, simulate the protocols and compare the results.

Analysis of the NICE Application Layer Multicast Protocol
Application layer multicast protocols organize a set of hosts into an overlay tree for data delivery. Each host on the overlay peers with a subset of other hosts. Since application layer multicast relies only on an underlying unicast architecture, multiple copies of the same packet can be carried by a single physical link or node on the overlay. The stress at a link or node is defined as the nu...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of a Novel Overlay Multicast Protocol
The demand for high-bandwidth media streaming over the Internet is growing. For large groups of receivers, media streaming places a heavy burden on the network. IP Multicast can alleviate this problem, but it is not widely deployed. In recent years, application layer multicast and overlay multicast have been proposed as alternatives. However, there are still concerns about the efficiency, scala...
متن کاملGeographic Routing with Low Stretch in d - dimensional Spaces ∗
Geographic routing is attractive because the routing state needed per node is independent of network size. We present a novel geographic routing protocol with several major advances over previous geographic protocols. First, our protocol achieves an average routing stretch close to 1. Second, our protocol can be used for nodes located in d-dimensional Euclidean spaces (d ≥ 2). Third, node locat...
متن کاملAn Overlay Maintenance Protocol for Overlay Routing on Top of Ad Hoc Networks
The protocol described in this paper builds and maintains an overlay topology on top of an ad hoc network. The overlay is intended to be used by a routing application. As flooding is a key component of many route discovery mechanisms in MANETs, we evaluate the delivery percentage, bandwidth consumption and time duration of flooding a message on the overlay. We also consider the overlay path str...
متن کاملVRing: A Ring-based Application-Layer Multicast Protocol
This paper presents the design, analysis and performance evaluation of VRing, a novel application-layer multicast (ALM) protocol that establishes a virtual ring as an overlay network among the multicast group members in a selforganizing and distributed manner. VRing takes advantage of the inherent desirable property of a ring; namely, the degree of each node on the ring is O(1) (i.e., independe...
