Recently, a moderate amount of work has been reported on the use of overlay networks to support value-added network services, such as multicasting, Quality of Service (QoS), secur...
— Without the multicast support from the underlying networks, overlay multicast has the advantage of implementing inter-domain multicast communications. Usually, overlay multicas...
Ad-hoc networks enable mobile devices to communicate without any fixed infrastructure. While reliable multicasting has been identified as a key application in this context, we a...
Although many multicast communication protocols have been recommended at IETF, reliable multicast communications currently rely on programs built at the application layer, e.g., m...
