Ip Multicasting for Wireless Mobile Hosts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of e cient multicast support for mobile wireless hosts in TCP/IP networks. We summarize techniques supporting multicasting and mobility, along with their constraints and interactions, and explore architectural alternatives for solutions to the combined problem that remain compatible with the existing architecture. We propose a new mechanism for group management, optimized for pointto-point links. We also discuss three proposed multicast delivery mechanisms and compare them with respect to e ciency on wireless networks and impact on host software.

متن کاملIP multicast group management for point-to-point local distribution
We examine the applicability of existing IP multicast mechanisms for Point-to-Point links such as wired and wireless telephone lines. We identify problems such as overhead due to IGMP leave latency and unnecessary probing of hosts, both important issues for power constrained mobile hosts and low bandwidth wireless links. We propose alternative mechanisms that preserve the IP multicasting model ...
