Framework of Control Protocol for Relayed Multicast
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce Relayed Multicast Control Protocol (RMCP). The RMCP has been designed for realizing and managing the relayed multicast. Relayed multicast, as known as Overlay Multicasting or Application-level Multicasting, is a data delivery scheme for one-to-many multicast application, in which one or more intermediate Multicast Agents are employed for relaying application data from a sender to many receivers along a tree hierarchy. In RMCP, a special-purpose entity, named Session Manager, is used to manage the overall control operations. RMCP is designed to ensure that the multicast applications and services can be provided along with the associated relayed data transport schemes over current Internet environments in which IP multicast has not completely been deployed.

An Application-Controlled Framework for Reliable Multicast Transport
IP multicast has enabled a number of large-scale collaborative applications, several of which require reliability. However, no single reliable multicast (RM) transport protocol fits the requirements of all classes of applications and functions efficiently over all types of heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we propose a novel framework approach to RM protocol design that involves a generic ...

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...

This paper proposes the modeling and the performance analysis of a high-level control protocol – COCOP, which enables cooperative groups of clients to control a shared server delivering time-dependant data services. Several synchronous multimedia systems such as media on-demand, web casting, and networks of real/virtual sensors, can beneficially exploit COCOP to furnish cooperative control sess...

This paper describes a framework of QoS management for one-to-many multicast communications in the context of a new multicast transport protocol called the Enhanced Communication Transport Protocol (ECTP). ECTP is a transport protocol designed to support Internet multicast applications, such as audio and video, which is currently being standardised in ITU.T SG7. ECTP operates over IP networks t...
