Supporting WDM multicasting in an IP over WDM network poses interesting problems because some WDM switches may be incapable of switching an incoming signal to more than one output interface. An approach to WDM multicasting based on wavelength-routing, which constructs a multicast forest for each multicast session so that multicast-incapable WDM switches do not need to multicast, was proposed an...

Overlay multicast protocol builds a virtual mesh spanning all member nodes of a multicast group. It employs standard unicast routing and forwarding to fulfill multicast functionality. The advantages of this approach are robustness and low overhead. However, efficiency is an issue since the generated multicast trees are normally not optimized in terms of total link cost and data delivery delay. ...

In this thesis, we conduct an extensive case study on formally modeling, analyzing, and designing retransmission-based reliable multicast protocols. We first present an abstract model of the communication service that several reliable multicast protocols [12, 13, 32–34] strive to provide. This model precisely specifies i) what it means to be a member of the reliable multicast group, ii) which p...

Cluster interactions are imperative in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET). Multicast is an proficient technique for implementing cluster connections. However, it is exigent to execute competent and scalable multicast in MANET due to the intricacy in faction association supervision and multicast packet forwarding over a dynamic topology. We intend a novel Efficient Geographic Multicast Protocol (EGM...

In this paper we propose a multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). The protocol—termed Differential Destination Multicast (DDM)—differs from common approaches proposed for MANET multicast routing in two ways. Firstly, instead of distributing membership control throughout the network, DDM concentrates this authority at the data sources (i.e. senders) thereby giving source...

A novel internet multicast routing protocol is presented to possess efficiency and effectiveness for multicast packet routing with short delay, high throughput, resource utilization and scalability for a single multicast group g. The protocol has two features: (1) Multiple Shared-Trees (MST) are configured to provide efficient, dynamic and quality multicast routing; (2) Anycasting approach is a...

Wireless sensor networks and Ad-hoc network in the region Multicast (Geocasting) means to deliver the message to all nodes in a given geographical area from the source point. Regional Multicast practical application of the specified area and other regions may be formed to broadcast transmission and location-related business information, extensive advertising, or to send an urgent message. Regio...

The On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) is an effective and effwient routing protocol designed for mobile wireless ad hoc networks. One of the major strengths of ODMRP is its capability to operate both as a unicast and a multicast routing protocol. This versatility of ODMRP can increase network effziency as the network can handle both unicast and multicast traffw with one protocol We d...

In this paper, we address the multicast routing problem for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). We present the Source Grouped Flooding approach to achieve multicast in MANETs. The protocol creates multiple multicast routes between the source and group members based on hop count distance constraints. We also propose a probabilistic data forwarding mechanism to achieve efficient data dissemination. ...
