Performance Evaluation of PIM-SM Recovery

چکیده
A PIM-SM-built multicast tree must be restructured/recovered when the underlying unicast routing tables change. In this article we describe the PIM-SM recovery mechanisms and evaluate the recovery performance, showing its dependence on a range of network and session parameters. Our results show that a significant recovery performance improvement is possible if the multicast recovery is immediately triggered when the unicast routing state changes. Furthermore, our results show that a substantial packet loss can be caused by non-reductive, “benign” events in the network, such as an addition of a new link.

RPIM-SM: extending PIM-SM for RP relocation
The protocol independent multicast-sparse mode (PIM-SM) protocol establishes core-base tree to forward multicast datagrams in a network. In PIM-SM, the core or rendezvous point (RP) of a group is determined at each multicast router by hashing a group address, i.e. a class-D IP address, to one of the candidate RPs. The hash function is characterized by its ability to evenly and uniquely choose t...
متن کاملPIM-SM Configuration and Scalability on Satellite Unidirectional Links
This paper considers satellite unidirectional links having a large number of nodes and discusses the PIM-SM configuration on these links if there is no separate multicast routing information base. Looking closely at the PIM-SM specification documents, we propose a PIM-SM configuration that enables multicast traffic to flow on unidirectional links. We also discuss the scalability of PIM-SM on sa...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Open - Source Implementation of PIM - SM
PIM-SM is the routing protocol which describes the exchange of the network topology information in order to construct logical multicast trees. Multicast traffic is routed along these multicast trees in order to more efficiently utilize the network resources. In this paper, we evaluate capabilities of the open-source implementations which allow routing of multicast traffic: Quagga, and Pimd.
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Multicast Protocols(PIM-SM and Mesh)
Multicast protocols aim at reducing the total number of packets flooded in a network when the same packet is broadcast to a group of receivers. Current architectures such as PIM-SM are tree based ,and while they have several advantages when considering the number of packets sent, and simplicity of routing decisions, they suffer from the added overhead involved in maintaining globally unique gro...
متن کاملPerformance of IP Multicast in MPLS using PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode)
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), providing traffic engineering and QoS capability support in IP network, and Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), using two modes of multicast transmission to adapt with network requirement, are the leader in their firm. To combine these two technologies provides an opportunity for service provider to distribute new services from their con...
