On the Performance of an Application Layer Multicast Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the performance of an application layer multicast protocol, namely Adaptive Overlay Multicast (AOM) protocol. We introduce the concepts of fan-outs and foster limit in building application layer multicast tree, and exemplifies the performance and adaptability characteristics of AOM to network dynamics with extensive simulation results.

An Efficient Fibonacci Series Based Hierarchical Application-Layer Multicast Protocol
In this paper, an efficient Fibonacci series based hierarchical protocolHFTM (Hierarchical Fibonacci Tree Multicast) is proposed for applicationlayer multicast. It adopts the idea of layer and cluster to construct multicast group members into a hierarchical architecture. During the cluster formation, it considers the underlying network properties to reduce packet delivering on costly links. In ...
متن کاملOverlay Multicasting for Ad Hoc Networks
In this work, we study the benefits of using application layer multicast in ad hoc networks. We propose a flexible receiver-driven overlay multicast protocol that we call the Application Layer Multicast Algorithm (ALMA). As an application layer protocol, ALMA constructs an overlay multicast tree of logical links between the group members. Our protocol has the advantages of an application layer ...
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 کاملA Middleware for Implementation and Evaluation of Application Layer Multicast Protocols in Real Environments
In this paper, we propose a new middleware, which supports implementation and evaluation of Application Layer Multicast (ALM in short) protocols in real environments. The middleware provides many functions by which it can largely reduce the time and effort required for ALM protocol prototyping, performance evaluation and tuning. By using those functionalities, we have easily implemented several...
متن کاملModeling and Analysis of a Cooperative Control Protocol
This paper proposes COCOP – COoperative COntrol Protocol, which enables a synchronous cooperative group to interactively control an on-demand server which multicasts time-dependent data streams. Multicast-based streaming on-demand systems such as video on-demand systems, web casters, and networks of real/virtual sensors can beneficially exploit COCOP to provide cooperative control sessions as a...
