In this paper1 , we present a new approach to construct multicast trees in MPLS networks. This approach utilizes MPLS LSPs between multicast tree branching node routers in order to...
In mobile ad-hoc networks, the multicast paradigm is of central importance. It can help to save scarce medium bandwidth if packets are to be delivered to multiple destinations. We...
In this paper, we propose a bandwidth-efficient multicast mechanism for heterogeneous wireless networks. We reduce the bandwidth cost of an Internet Protocol (IP) multicast tree by...
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...
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are a special type of wireless mobile networks which may lack continuous network connectivity. Multicast is an important routing function that suppor...
