Custodial Multicast in Delay Tolerant Networks: Challenges and Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although custodial transmission of multicast bundles would be a desirable capability to have in Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs), support for custodial multicast transmission was omitted from the Bundle Protocol Specification because of its complexity. This paper explains the difficulties that arise with respect to supporting custody transfer and retransmission of multicast bundles, and it describes some potential solutions for addressing these issues that the authors are currently exploring as work-in-progress. Keywords-Delay-Tolerant, Disruption-Tolerant, multicast, custody transfer, custody-based retransmission

Performance comparison of different multicast routing strategies in disruption tolerant networks
Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) technologies are emerging solutions to networks that experience frequent partitions. As a result, multicast design for DTNs is a considerably more difficult problem compared to that of Internet and mobile ad hoc networks. In this paper, we first investigate three basic DTN multicast strategies, including unicast-based multicast (U-Multicast), static-tree-base...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Multicasting Approaches in Disruption Tolerant Networks
Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) are emerging solutions to networks that experience frequent partitions. In this paper, we study how to provide high-performance multicasting service in DTNs. We first investigate three basic DTN multicast approaches. We then develop a multicast mechanism based on on-demand path discovery and overall situation awareness of link availability (OS-multicast) to a...
متن کاملMulticast computer network routing using genetic algorithm and ant colony
Due to the growth and development of computer networks, the importance of the routing topic has been increased. The importance of the use of multicast networks is not negligible nowadays. Many of multimedia programs need to use a communication link to send a packet from a sender to several receivers. To support such programs, there is a need to make an optimal multicast tree to indicate the opt...
متن کاملMulticast Routing in Wireless Sensor Networks: A Distributed Reinforcement Learning Approach
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are consist of independent distributed sensors with storing, processing, sensing and communication capabilities to monitor physical or environmental conditions. There are number of challenges in WSNs because of limitation of battery power, communications, computation and storage space. In the recent years, computational intelligence approaches such as evolutionar...
متن کاملReliable Multicast Routing Protocol For DTN Based Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) are unique in their characteristics. Most of the VANET applications request one-to-many (group) communications. In this paper we discuss routing in DTN based VANET application. In our study we consider only the non-safety applications in the VANET environment. These applications request multicast routing. However the existing routing approaches which are mainly...
