Status of this Memo This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract This document describes the Core Based Tree (CBT version 2) network layer multicast routing protocol. CBT builds a shared multicast distribution ...

This paper presents a protocol and design for concurrent and reliable group multicast (many-to-many) from bursty data sources in general networks. In a group multicast, any node can be a multicast source and multiple nodes may start to multicast simultaneously, i.e., an asynchronous access to the network. The reliable multicast protocol presented in this work is window based with a combined sen...

The unprecedented growth of the Internet and the introduction of new network services such as multicast has lead to the increased complexity of network protocols and protocol interaction Multicast protocols support a wide range of multipoint applications ranging from teleconferencing to network games Unlike traditional point to point protocols multipoint communication involves multiple senders ...

In most of the MAC protocols for wireless ad hoc networks today, no reliable multicast service is provided. For example, IEEE 802.11[5], the most widely used MAC protocol at present, only supports reliable unicast with the RTS/CTS/DATA/ACK scheme; while for broadcast or multicast frames1, it simply performs one transmission of them without any reliability guarantee. In this report, we propose a...

Bluetooth Location Network (BLN) is a Bluetooth radio network that is composed of some mobile Bluetooth devices and static Bluetooth units, and is established at the system initialization to form a spontaneous network topology. In a BLN, a multicast service is defined as the periodical delivering of messages from a Service Server to a set of mobile devices which are the multicast members predef...

ÐIn this paper, we develop a specification methodology that documents and specifies a cache coherence protocol in eight tables: the states, events, actions, and transitions of the cache and memory controllers. We then use this methodology to specify a detailed, modern three-state broadcast snooping protocol with an unordered data network and an ordered address network that allows arbitrary skew...

Multicast Extensions to the Security Architecture for the Internet Protocol Status of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distr...

Group communication can benefit from Internet Protocol (IP) multicast protocol to achieve efficient exchange of messages. However, IP multicast does not provide any mechanisms for authentication. In literature, many solutions to solve this problem were presented. It has been shown that Wong and Lam protocol is the only protocol that can resist both packet loss and pollution attacks. In contrast...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) have several prominent features because of which MANETs are visualized to support advanced applications. Multicast routing reduces the communication costs of applications. Several multicast routing protocols have been proposed for MANET. While previous MANET multicast protocols focused on the reductions of control overhead, the multicast protocol investigated in ...
