Abstract: This paper reevaluates the multicast protocols for MANETs in terms of energy efficiency and proposes a new robust multicast protocol, called two-tree multicast (TTM). Multicast protocols can ...

IP multicast routing protocols allow a set of multicast routers to build or join multicast distribution trees when a terminal requests to receive traffic from a certain group. A distribution tree ...

In IP networks, packets are generally routed from a single source to a single receiver via routers. This type of transmission, known as IP unicast mode, has proven its effectiveness for point-to-point ...

Abstract: With the ever increasing demand of multimedia traffic on the Internet the interest in deploying multicast has increased. One hurdle in this regard is quantifying the multicast protocol ...

The foundations of today’s streaming industry were largely laid by multicast engineers in the early and mid-1990s. For example, the Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP) and the Session Description ...

Multicast, a technique commonly used in networking systems, allows a given processing unit to send a single data stream to multiple destinations at the same time efficiently. Typically, the switch ...

IPv6 Multicast is a BGP address family (AFI 2, SAFI 2) that enables BGP to carry multicast routing information for IPv6 networks. It provides Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF) information for IPv6 ...

ABSTRACT: In wireless networks current standard MAC layer protocols don’t provide any error correction scheme for broadcast/multicast. In this paper, we enhance a ...

The Video Services Forum (VSF) has released two new ancillary features to enhance the Reliable Internet Streaming Transport (RIST) protocol by incorporating Decoder Synchronization and Multicast ...
