A Protocol to Improve the State Scalability of Source Specific
نویسندگان
چکیده
Source Specific Multicast (SSM) is a viable solution for current multicast applications, since the driving applications to date are one to many, including Internet TV, distance learning, file distribution and streaming media, etc.. It brings many benefits in billing, address allocation, and security. However, SSM still confronts the serious state scalability problem when there are a large number of simultaneous on-going multicast groups in the network. In this paper, we propose a protocol to improve the state scalability of Source Specific Multicast, which is called Aggregated Source Specific Multicast (ASSM). We design the detailed ASSM protocol and show that our solution can obtain significant multicast state reduction while achieving transparency to end-users, compatibility with existing multicast technologies and low overhead.

The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
