Revisiting IP Multicast
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper explains the history, the idea as well as usages and problems of traditional IP multicast. Furthermore, in this paper I discuss the very recent idea of IP multicast, FRM (Free Riding Multicast), which has been suggested in 2006.

Universal IP Multicast Delivery
Many applications can benefit from ubiquitous availability of multicast delivery. Unfortunately IP multicast coverage on the Internet is spotty at best, limited to individual campuses and a handful of service providers. In response to the slow deployment of IP multicast, a number of end-host multicast mechanisms have been developed. End-host multicast lowers the deployment barrier of multicast ...
متن کاملIP-SENATE: IP multicast SErvice for Non-broadcast Access networking TEchnology
In this paper we present an eecient implementation of IP multicast over ATM, called ip-senate: IP multicast SErvice for Non-broadcast Access networking TEchnology built on top of congress (CONnection oriented Group-address RESolution Service). Congress is an eecient native ATM protocol for resolution and management of multicast group addresses in a large ATM cloud. It complements the native ATM...
متن کاملMultipoint LDP (mLDP) In-Band Signaling with Wildcards
There are scenarios in which an IP multicast tree traverses an MPLS domain. In these scenarios, it can be desirable to convert the IP multicast tree "seamlessly" into an MPLS Multipoint Label Switched Path (MP-LSP) when it enters the MPLS domain, and then to convert it back to an IP multicast tree when it exits the MPLS domain. Previous documents specify procedures that allow certain kinds of I...
متن کاملSupporting IP Multicast for Mobile Hosts
IP Multicast is an eecient mechanism of delivering a large amount of data to a group of members over the Internet. Link sharing is achieved by a multicast tree that connects all group members. Mobile IP is the proposed standard for IP mobility support and provides two schemes for mobile hosts to receive multicast packets, either through tunneling from the home agent (called home subscription) o...
متن کاملOn fundamental issues in IP over WDM multicast
As WDM technology matures, IP over WDM multicast becomes a new challenging topic. Supporting multicast at the WDM layer provides additional advantages, but also raises many new issues that do not exist in IP multicast. For example, the limitation on the light splitting capability of switches is one major difficulty in WDM multicast, and in addition, the limitations on both the wavelength conver...
