This document specifies Version 3 of the Internet Group Management Protocol, IGMPv3. IGMP is the protocol used by IPv4 systems to report their IP multicast group memberships to neighboring multicast routers. Version 3 of IGMP adds support for "source filtering", that is, the ability for a system to report interest in receiving packets *only* from specific source addresses, or from *all but* spe...

OVPN (Optical Virtual Private Network) over IP (Internet Protocol)/GMPLS (Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) over DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology with QoS assurances is considered as a promising approach for the next generation OVPN. In this paper, we suggest a multicast OLSP (Optical Label Switched Path) establishment mechanism for supporting high bandwidth mu...

In this paper, we propose a protocol for multicast communication called Multicast Datagram Transfer Protocol (MDTP) to provide multicast for video broadcasting service on the Internet. MDTP is a oneto-many multicast communication protocol, which is constructed based on IPv4 unicast protocol by utilizing IP Router Alert Option, and it uses unicast addressing and unicast routing protocol. A mecha...

This paper presents a performance analysis of topological and geographical multicast routing algorithms for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. Flooding and On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) are simulated and compared with two novels protocols proposed: Topological Multicast Routing Protocol (ToMuRo) and Geographical Multicast Routing Protocol (GeMuRo) in pedestrian and vehicular scenar...

Today, the use of anycast address is quite limited. One of the reasons is that there is no routing protocol providing a global anycasting service. In this paper we design and implement a new anycast routing protocol called PIA-SM (Protocol Independent Anycast – Sparse Mode). We focus on PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode), which is one of multicast routing protocols available ...

This paper proposes the COoperative COntrol Protocol (COCOP), 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 ...

This paper introduces AMRIS, a new multicast routing protocol for ad hoc wireless networks. AMRIS (Ad hoc Multicast Routing protocol utilizing Increasing id-numberS) is designed to operate independently of underlying unicast

The Adaptive Core Multicast Routing Protocol (ACMRP) is proposed for multicast routing in ad hoc networks. ACMRP is on demand core-based multicast routing protocol and uses a multicast mesh. In ACMRP, a core is not well-known and it adapts to the current network topology and group membership. The enhanced adaptivity minimizes the core dependency and, accordingly, improves performance and robust...
