....performed to enforce policy during the tree construction. Tree construction also relies on protocols like IGMP [4] to reach a router that is group aware. Since the protocol builds shared trees around a given center, some mechanism of informing participants of (group, center) mappings is required [2, 6]. An additional protocol which selects tree centers [12] is desirable as the quality of the shared tree will be highly dependent on the center selected. The cost for that min(ss, Si, j)di, j.

It was also proved that the resulting tree is loop free 4 and adapts very quickly in case of link failures. HPIM [15], the hierarchical extension of the Sparse Mode version of the Protocol Independent Multicast, has also been introduced. Some interesting advantages of this hierarchical protocol have also been outlined. However, the total bandwidth consumed by the tree built with these propositions hasn t been ....

....symmetric star approach [Lee95] is used for aggregating the link vector information, which is distributed over the network by flooding. ALVA uses Dijkstra s algorithm to compute the path for unicast routing based on the topology table stored at each router. The hierarchical PIM (HPIM) protocol [HaC] is based on PIM SM and constructs multicast shared trees for N level hierarchical networks. Unlike PIM SM, HPIM does not require advertisement of the rendezvous point (RP) Each level in the hierarchy has one candidate RP (along with backup RPs in case of failure of the primary) for each ....

....related to Internet routing since the reservations need to be established where the traffic will be flowing. Current Internet multicast routing algorithms [5, 18, 1, 12] have problems with scaling and with intra domain multicast protocol independence. Newer hierarchical multicast routing schemes [11, 17, 10] are being developed which have better scaling properties and allow the lower level of the routing hierarchy to independently choose an interior multicast routing protocol for inside their domain. The IETF is currently developing MASC BGMP (Multicast Address Set Claim Border Gateway Multicast ....

.... in inter domain multicast and make inter operation of different routing protocols possible, a number of interdomain multicast routing protocols had been developed, including Hierarchical Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (HDVMRP) 27] Hierarchical Protocol Independent Multicast (HPIM)[14], and Border Gateway Multicast Protocol (BGMP) 28] Essentially a border gateway capable of multicast implements an inter domain multicast routing protocol and different intra domain protocols at different interfaces and forward multicast packets across the domain boundary. In this paper we will ....

....set of all RPs to be flooded throughout the network. Routers hash the group address over the set of RPs to pick a RP for a particular multicast group. Hence the RP discovery mechanism does not scale well to the Internet as it requires the set of all RPs to be flooded throughout the Internet. HPIM[43] builds on PIM SM by using a hierarchy of RPs for a group. A receiver would send joins to the lowest level RP, which in turn would join a RP at the next level, and so on. The number of levels in the hierarchy depends on the scope of the multicast group. Data from senders flows along the branches ....

The core location affects dramatically the performance of such trees, particularly for inhomogeneous member distributions and large networks [9] 22] Hierarchical multicast trees offer much more flexibility and scalability as local trees are built and maintained independently in each cluster [12], 17] 19] Hierarchical trees are envisaged at the IETF for wide area multicasting [13] 19] 4] The work of F.Baccelli was supported in part by a grant from France Telecom ( No 1 98 E 222 00 41611 01 2) J.L.Rougier is supported by a France Telecom CNET grant (project CNET ENST PE96 7672) ....

....the trees will be exemplified in section V. Furthermore, the nodes of a given domain only need to know the address of their local core. How core addresses are disseminated is outside the scope of this paper [13] 15] Different algorithms adapted to build hierarchical trees have been presented [12], 17] 20] These proposals have strongly influenced the development of wide area multicast routing protocols at the IETF [19] 4] 13] The trees which are analyzed are those built by the algorithms presented in section V, when the multicast group is homogeneously distributed on the plane. ....

....current Internet, This work was performed when the author was at the Computer Science Department, University of Pittsburgh. but it inherently suffers from the same scaling limitations as DVMRP. There was an attempt to extend Doar s[14] p mp work on naive multicast in Hierarchical PIM (HPIM)[15]. HPIM primarily addresses the problems associated with the Rendezvous point (RP) of PIM, but its performance is yet to be evaluated. The above protocols take a soft state approach, in which the unicast routing determines the current multicast routing. While soft state approaches are robust during ....

....based routing enables algorithms of this genre to scale, the problem of optimally placing a core is NP hard. Additionally, a single core node also becomes a point of failure and a bottleneck for signalling. The last mentioned problems are solved by creating a hierarchy of core nodes, as in HPIM[8]. In contrast to the above mentioned approaches, XYZ uses a precomputed base tree infrastructure. The advantage of this infrastructure is that a newly joining node does not need to discover the core and compute a path to it, which then needs to be merged with the existing multicast tree; instead, ....

....1.1 Related Work Current core based multicast routing protocols (CBT[2] and PIM[8] do not adequately address the issue of performance based core choice, assuming an administrative decision. Work is in progress on a scheme to organize candidate cores into a multi level global hierarchy [13]. Some discussion is given regarding the migration to a different top level core based on coarse delay information. Both the performance metrics and the migration options are considerably more limited than those we describe. Researchers have recently begun to consider the relationship between ....

....large numbers of on tree nodes in a system, thus minimising the amount of load concentrations to a specific node as well as providing a potentially high degree of optimal branches stemming from the root. Part of the rationale for using scoped one to many joins, instead of Hierarchical PIM (HPIM) [12], centers on the ability of an egress node to join the nearest or farthest ontree node. Thus, a egress router can directly join the root core or any other node on the tree. In addition, there is no need for deciding in an a priori fashion which hierarchical level a given core RP is associated ....
