Using SSM proxies to provide efficient multiple-source multicast delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the possibility that single-source multicast (SSM) will become a universal multicast service, enabling large-scale distribution of content from a few well-known sources to a general audience. Operating under this assumption, we explore the problem of building the traditional IP model of any-source multicast on top of SSM. Toward this end, we design an SSM proxy service that allows any sender to efficiently deliver content to a multicast group. We demonstrate the performance improvements this service offers over standard SSM and describe extensions for access control, dynamic proxy discovery, and multicast proxy distribution.

SSM extensions: network layer support for multiple senders in SSM
Source Specific Multicast (SSM) provides native support for single sender multicast applications. Current proposals for supporting multiple sender applications on top of SSM includes using multiple SSM channels or using an application layer relay mechanism on top of SSM. These approaches have potential scalability or single point of failure problems, respectively. In this paper, we propose netw...
متن کاملA Scalable Internet Program Guide Architecture
We describe here an Internet Program Guide architecture which addresses the scalability and user-friendliness issues of the current announcement techniques. We use a SAP bootstrap channel and several SAP Proxies to provide a scalable infrastructure. We use SDPng for describing PG meta-data and XSLT transformations for rendering the PGs. PG clients use an “Anycast-to-Unicast” address resolution ...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملMorphing distribution trees - On the evolution of multicast states under mobility and an adaptive routing scheme for mobile SSM sources
Source Specific Multicast (SSM) promises a wider dissemination of group distribution services than Any Source Multicast, as it relies on simpler routing strategies with reduced demands on the infrastructure. However, SSM is designed for á priori known and changeless addresses of multicast sources and thus withstands any easy extension to mobility. Up until now only few approaches arose from the...
متن کاملExtending SSM to MIPv6 - Problems, Solutions and Improvements
Multicast data delivery carries distinct importance in mobile wireless environments, where bandwidth is limited and transmission channels are shared between users. The development of mobile multicast protocols consequently exhibits emerging interest. As the common approach of Any Source Multicast distribution is burdened with intricate routing procedures, the spread of multicast–enabled network...
