A Receiver-initiated WDM Multicast Tree Construction Protocol to Support IP Dense Mode Multicast Routing in All-Optical Lambda-Switched Networks

چکیده
We describe a source-rooted WDM multicast tree construction protocol to support IP dense mode multicast routing protocols in all-optical lambda-switched networks. Using a receiver-initiated approach, the protocol relies on a mechanism that collects information on the capabilities of WDM nodes. This mechanism provides receivers with sufficient information to setup WDM multicast trees in networks consisting of nodes with heterogeneous WDM capabilities. Knowledge of the network topology, group-wide membership information and capability of every WDM network node is not required.

متن کاملSupporting IP Dense Mode Multicast Routing Protocols in WDM All-Optical Networks
Recent developments in all-optical networking and wavelength division multiplexing technologies allow for the support of optical multicasting, a missing feature towards the optical Internet. In this paper we propose a protocol to construct source-rooted WDM multicast trees. The protocol works under dense mode multicast routing IP protocols and supports network nodes with different degrees of li...
متن کاملSupporting PIM-SM in All-Optical Lambda-Switched Networks
We describe a protocol to construct optical multicast trees in lambdaswitched networks running PIM-SM. Based on the MPLS architecture, the protocol maps a multicast tree constructed by PIM-SM onto point-to-multipoint LSPs that are connected to form an equivalent WDM multicast tree. LSP set-up request is receiver-initiated in the protocol. A mechanism to collect information about the capability ...
متن کاملMulticast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony
Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...
متن کاملA Novel Multicast Tree Construction Algorithm for Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
