Our aim is to investigate reliable transmission for multicast communication and explore its relationship to multicast routing. We derive two characterizations that enable the comp...
Abstract— As WDM technology matures and multicast applications become increasingly popular, supporting multicast at the WDM layer becomes an important and yet challenging topic. ...
Abstract--This paper addresses multicast routing in circuitswitched multihop optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing. We consider a model in which multicast com...
Multicast network services advantageously complement multimedia information and communication technologies, as they open up the realm for highly scalable multicustomer application...
Bandwidth-sensitive multicast delivery controlled by routing criteria pertinent to the actual traffic flow is very costly in terms of router state and control overhead and it scal...
