Does one size fit all?: the impact of policy on multicast mechanism for future network
Article No.: 23, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
The rapid growth of diverse applications and services over the Internet poses significant challenges to the traditional multicast routing protocols. However, in most of the existing multicast routing protocols such as PIM-SSM, policy and mechanism are strict-coupling. This makes them hard to fit for different kinds of application demands. In this paper, we propose a Policy and Mechanism Isolation(PMI) multicast routing protocol, which aims at decoupling the policy and mechanism. Based on PMI, more provider policies, which further improve the effect and efficiency of the multicast mechanism, can be infused in to it. A parameter gradient-based multicast routing mechanism is presented to testify the flexibility of the proposed protocol. Preliminary results show that our mechanism is more adaptive than SPT, which is used in PIM-SSM.

Seamless multicast handover in an NC-HMIPv6 environment
The multicast facilitates group communications in IP networks and largely improves the usage efficiency of the bandwidth. However if this transmission technology has reached a sufficient maturity in fixed networks, it results in many problems in an IP ...
Proposal for multicast transmissions in NC-HMIPv6 environment
CEA'08: Proceedings of the 2nd WSEAS International Conference on Computer Engineering and ApplicationsThe multicast in IP networks allows us to avoid the use of several point-to-point connections (unicast) very expensive in network resources. It strongly improves management of the group communications and the band-width. Many developed multicast ...
