An important problem in both wireless and wired communication networks is to be able to efficiently multicast information to a group of network sites. Multicasting reduces the transmission overhead of both wireless and wired networks and the time it takes for all the nodes in the subset to receive the information. Since transmission bandwidth is a scarce commodity especially in wireless network...

Recent advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance for clusters of workstations. Realizing collective communication over reliable multicast can achieve higher performance than over reliable unicast primitives. The standard IP multicast, however, only supports unreliable multicast, which is di cult to use for building high level me...

EEcient routing of messages is the key to the performance of multicomputers. Mul-ticast communication refers to the delivery of the same message from a source node to an arbitrary number of destination nodes. While multicast communication is highly demanded in many applications, it is not directly supported by all existing multicom-puters; rather it is indirectly supported by multiple one-to-on...

This paper proposes efficient algorithms for implementing multicast in heterogeneous workstation/PC clusters. Multicast is an important operation in many scientific and industrial applications. Its efficient implementation on distributed-memory machines plays a critical role in the performance of distributed-memory parallel computing applications. Our work distinguishs itself between others in ...

Multicast group communication is a useful augmentation to CORBA both for fault-tolerant and highly available applications and for groupware and cooperative work applications. However, different multicast group communication protocols are appropriate in different environments, e.g., local area vs. wide area networks, and Internet vs. ATM. In this paper we present a multicast group communication ...

Widespread availability of IP multicast has renewed interest in structuring distributed applications around a group communication paradigm that exploits networklayer support for multicast applications. In the past, distributed systems that provided group communication supported a restricted group communication model. Such systems are either designed to provide reliable delivery with support for...

Multicast communication is becoming the basis for a growing number of applications. It is therefore critical to provide sound security mechanism for multicast communication. One such solution, secure multicast, is appealing because it leverages the efficiency of multicast data delivery. However, it also presents several research challenges. In this paper, we discuss a packet source authenticati...

There are many benefits of multicasting using with network. The communication cost reduced by multicasting for applications that sends the same data to many recipients instead of sending via multiple unicast. This paper gives a general survey of multicast routing protocols in Mobile adhoc Networks (MANETs). The multicast routing protocols are divided into two categoriesmulticast routing based o...
