Bi-directional shared tree is an efficient routing scheme for interactive multicast applications with multiple sources. Given the open-group IP multicast service model, it is impor...
—Multicasting has not been widely adopted until now, due to lack of access control over the group members. The Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) protocols are be...
—We propose a new multicast protocol called REUNITE. The key idea of REUNITE is to use recursive unicast trees to implement multicast service. REUNITE does not use class D IP add...
We present an approach to building multicast services at the network layer using unicast forwarding and two additional building blocks: (i) ephemeral state probes, i.e. extremely l...
