....in the Internet is based on shortest path trees, because of their ease of implementation. Also, they provide minimum delay from sender to receiver, which is desirable for most real life multicast applications. However shared trees are used in some more recent protocols (like PIM [Dec96] and CBT [Bal97]) in order to minimize the state stored in the routers. Multicasting in ad hoc networks is more challenging than in the Internet, because of the need to optimize the use of several resources simultaneously. Firstly, nodes in ad hoc networks are battery power limited. Furthermore, data travels ....

....through the mesh. Because a member router of a mesh has redundant paths to any other router in the mesh, this protocol is more resilient to topology changes than tree based protocols. Cores are used to limit the control traffic needed for receivers to join multicast groups. In contrast to CBT[Bal97], one or multiple cores can be defined for each mesh and cores need not be part of the mesh of their group. Routers can join a group even if all associated cores become unreachable using an expanded ring search. CAMP ensures that all reverse shortest 17 paths between sources and receivers are ....

....calculated only on demand and cached for later use. It constructs source based multicast trees. It can also be considered as a QoS routing algorithm that minimizes delay. It is one of the dense mode protocols that requires explicit join from the receivers [8] 4.1. 3 Core Based Tree (CBT) CBT [26, 27] builds a single bidirectional shared tree for the data transmission from the source(s) in the group to the receivers. When an intermediate node receives a packet meant for the group, it forwards it to the remaining members of the group that are downstream to the node. It does not need to forward ....

....is still at its beginning phase. There are a lot of problems related to it that need to be resolved. Among these, design and implementation of an effective multicast routing protocol, which is scalable with the booming of Internetworks, is the most important and difficult. Although CBT [5] and PIM SM [6] 7] have greatly reduced the requirement of forwarding table storage compared with DVMRP [3] and MOSPF [4] they still need to store a great number of states when there are a great number of groups active. To improve the scalability of existent multicast protocols, in this paper we ....

Details of the M CBT are also presented in the context of a single router implementation same as RFC 2189 [5] does. Anything that is not mentioned in M CBT is same as CBT.

We also discuss extensions to BGMP to incorporate our strategies to enable QoS support. 1 Introduction Over the years, many multicast routing algorithms and protocols have been proposed and developed for IP networks. Several routing protocols[20, 17, 3, 12] have been standardized by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) with some of them having been deployed in the experimental MBone and some Internet Service Providers (ISP) networks[1] Some of these protocols[20, 17] are for intra domain multicast only while the others[3, 12] have ....

To provide scalable hierarchical Internet wide multicast, several protocols are being developed and considered by IETF. The first step towards scalable ....

....when we say source, we mean a router that has a host in its subnet which is a multicast traffic source. All multicast routing protocols require a tree member router to maintain certain information about the multicast group, forwarding state information as in MOSPF[22, 23] PIM SM[10, 11] and CBT[2], and also pruning information in DVMRP[24] and PIM DM[10] Forwarding information tells a router to which outgoing interface(s) it should forward the multicast traffic received. Multicast protocols specify how the pruning or forwarding information can be produced and maintained. In MOSPF, routers ....

....proposed a parity based scheme for loss recovery to achieve reliable multicast. A novel digital fountain approach [43] was proposed to allow heterogeneous receivers to reliably and efficiently obtain bulk data. The topic is beyond the scope of this paper. Many multicast routing algorithms (e.g. [33] [34] 35] 36] 37] 38] 39] 40] 41] have been proposed in the past few years. We feel that integrating multicast flow control and multicast routing is an interesting research field. In this paper, however, we consider these two problems as orthogonal and assume that a reasonable and ....

....routing, protocols are still in development, since all existing protocols tend to be rather complex. Protocols in current use include Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in two flavors, namely sparse mode (SM) 37] and dense mode (DM) 38] In addition, the Core Base Tree (CBT) protocol [39] has also been proposed. All these protocols have in common that they rely on an underlying unicast routing protocol, such as OSPF or the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to distribute reachability information. Indeed, PIM DM is very similar to DVMRP, minus the reverse path routing. PIM SM and CBT ....

However, for multiple senders multiple recipient cases, it is more appropriate to use a single shared tree that can be used by all group members to send and receive the multicast packets. The Core Based Tree (CBT) algorithm is an example of this approach [Bal97, Bal97a]. A single router or a set of routers is chosen to be the core router of the delivery tree. When a host wants to receive messages from and or send messages to a multicast tree it joins the core of the multicast group.

DVMRP supports tunnel interfaces and is currently deployed in the majority of MBone routers. As discussed earlier, the CBT protocol [Bal97, Bal97a] builds a shared multicast distribution tree per multicast group. As all the routers connect to the core, the protocol may lead to traffic concentration and a performance bottleneck around the core router.

....protocols depend only on the IP destination address. Some multicast routing protocols such as DVMRP [Wai98] and MOSPF [Moy94] build a multicast tree per source. These routing protocols construct the multicast tree depending on the source and the destination addresses. Other algorithms like CBT [Bal97] build a single shared tree per group. These protocols use only the IP destination address for packet forwarding. Using the home address as the IP source address of the datagram leads the routers executing DVMRP or MOSPF to expect the datagram from the link used to reach the MN s home address. ....

....during the lifetime of the multicast connection. In dynamic routing problems, members can join or leave the group during the lifetime of the connection. Dynamic multicast routing is important for actual multicast applications and is supported by protocols in ATM network [3] and Internet protocols [4, 5, 6]. Here, we focus on a dynamic multicast routing algorithm that can satisfy the following requirements. 1) Minimized average multicast tree cost. Every link has a cost (or a metric) and the tree cost is the sum of the costs for all links included in the multicast tree. Minimizing the tree cost ....

The worst case cost produced by the algorithm should be theoretically bounded as small as possible. Many dynamic multicast routing algorithms have been proposed [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]. However, none of there algorithms can satisfy all of the above requirements. The greedy algorithm [8, 9] selects the shortest path to an existing multicast tree when a node is added. It can construct a near optimal multicast tree, but requires many query reply messages between nodes when ....
