A Survey of Multicast Routing Protocols
نویسنده
چکیده
A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a selfconfiguring infrastructure less network of mobile devices connected by wireless.A protocol manages group membership and controls the path that multicast data takes over the network. Examples of multicast routing protocols include Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). There are lots of multicast routing protocols, some works with wired networks while the others with wireless networks, some protocols deals with both wired and wireless networks. But applying this concept in Mobile Ad Hoc networks (Manets) is a big challenge. The main aim of this paper is to explore the performance characteristics of multicast protocols.

A Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...

There are many benefits of multicasting using with network. The communication cost reduced by multicasting for applications that sends the same data to many recipients instead of sending via multiple unicast. This paper gives a general survey of multicast routing protocols in Mobile adhoc Networks (MANETs). The multicast routing protocols are divided into two categoriesmulticast routing based o...

This review paper presents an exhaustive survey on the different categories of topology-based multicast routing protocols that have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Due to the inherent broadcast nature of the wireless medium, oneto-many multicast communications are characteristic of most of the MANET applications. MANET multicast routing protocols are primarily classified as t...

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 کاملMulticast Routing Protocols in MANET
Multicast routing is an effective way to establish the group communication when the same message or the same stream of data needs to be sent to multiple receivers. Multicast routing has attracted a lot of attention in group oriented computing due to supporting data transmission from a single source node to multiple destinations concurrently. The advantage of multicast routing lies in its capabi...
متن کاملA comparative Study on Multicast Routing Protocols for Mobile Ad- Hoc Networks
A MANET is a type of ad hoc network that can change locations and configure itself on the fly. Because MANETS are mobile, they use wireless connections to connect to various networks. A Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET) is composed of Mobile Nodes (MNs) without any infrastructure. MNs self-organize to form a network over radio links. In this environment, multicast routing protocols are faced with th...
