We introduced the concept of a digital fountain as a scalable approach to reliable multicast, realized with fast and practical erasure codes, in a paper published in ACM SIGCOMM '98. This invited editorial, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the ...

In this paper we propose a novel co-allocation scheme, called a Reliable Multicast Brute-Force co-allocation scheme (ReMBF for short), which employs a reliable multicast (RM for short) technique with the Brute-Force (BF for short) scheme to accelerate ...

This paper describes a new reliable transport protocol designed to run on top of a multicast network service for delivery of continuously generated files. The motivation for this work is to support scientific computing Grid applications that require ...

Flooding, earthquakes, and other disasters are recent phenomenons which unfortunately occur more and more often. After such occurrences, the infrastructure is likely damaged, but rescue teams need to communicate with each other to plan the rescue ...

In computer network, multicast is an efficient scheme for one-to-many and many-to-many communication. Although research on multicast has begun as early as the rise of Internet, multicast is still not widely deployed in the current backbone Internet. ...

In contrast to unicast routing, high-throughput reliable multicast routing in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has received little attention. There are two primary challenges to supporting high-throughput, reliable multicast in WMNs. The first is no ...

Scalable and reliable experiment support software needs to be developed to enable construction of large-scale experiment environments and experiments on the environment. The number of management servers in an experiment environment is generally less ...

The innovative exploitation of network coding technology could bring great design advantages to MANETs. First, wireless links are inherently lossy due to channel fading or interference. Second, the delivery condition of the route from the source to each ...

When replicating data in a cloud computing setting, it is common to send updates using reliable dissemination mechanisms such as network overlay trees. We show that as data centers scale up, such multicast schemes manifest various performance and ...

Reliable multicast provides an elegant mechanism for structuring communication among closely cooperating entities. In a distributed mobile computing environment, disconnections and physical mobility of the mobile hosts (MHs) may result in the loss of ...

Several applications benefited from multicast data distribution because a sender can concurrently transmit data to multiple receivers using fewer bandwidth. However, reliability is an important issue in multicast because retransmission is not very ...

A major challenge in wireless terrestrial networks is to provide large-scale reliable multicast and broadcast services. The main problem limiting the scalability of such networks is feedback implosion, a problem arising when a large number of users ...

This document describes the messages and procedures of the Negative- ACKnowledgment (NACK) Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM) protocol. This protocol can provide end-to-end reliable transport of bulk data objects or streams over generic IP multicast ...

Emerging IPTV technology uses source-specific IP multicast to deliver TV programs to the end-users. To provide timely and reliable services over the error-prone DSL access networks, a combination of multicast forward error correction and unicast ...

Reliable multicast, the lossless dissemination of data from one sender to a group of receivers, has a wide range of important applications like software update and dissemination of stock quotes. Recently, network coding has been applied to the reliable ...

The Layered Coding Transport (LCT) Building Block provides transport level support for reliable content delivery and stream delivery protocols. LCT is specifically designed to support protocols using IP multicast, but it also provides support to ...

In the field of reliable multicast, the design of most current router cache management protocols is limited by network environment with single multicast group. With such protocols, expected targets can not be achieved in Internet environment in which a ...

With the features of HF data communication, an improved multicast protocol derived from RMTP (Reliable Multicast Transport Protocol) for HF reliable multicast transportation is provided. Since RMTP is not fitted for HF communication, the concept of "...

Security is an important concern in today's networking and particularly in satellite communication, where eavesdropping and active intrusion is much easier than in terrestrial fixed or mobile networks because of the broadcast nature of satellites. Many ...

Congestion control algorithms of existing reliable multicast protocols are mainly derived from end-to-end model, which has high resource requirements and sometimes suppresses the package sending too much. Many-to-many reliable multicast requires ...
