Multicast Session Membership Size Estimation

by Timur Friedman, Don Towsley - In Proc. of IEEE Infocom ’99 , 1999
"... We derive estimators and bounds that drive probabilistic polling algorithms for the estimation of the session size, r, of any potentially large scale multicast session. We base our analysis upon a mapping of polling mechanisms to the problem of estimating the parameter r of the binomial (r, p) distr ..."

Multicast Session Announcements on top of SSM

by Pavan Namburi
"... Abstract — Before having a multicast event, information about the event needs to be announced to prospective participants. In the current multicast service model, called Any Source Multicast (ASM), it is achieved by exchanging this information on a wellknown multicast group address. Researchers have ..."

have developed SSM, as an alternative multicast model in response to problems with ASM. And therefore, the expectation is that SSM will soon replace ASM in the inter-domain scale. Session announcements is inherently a many-to-many application. Support for this application on top of SSM is not a

Optimization based rate control for multirate multicast sessions

by Koushik Kar, Saswati Sarkar , Leandros Tassiulas , 2001
"... Multirate multicasting, where the receivers of a multicast group can receive service at different rates, is an efficient mode of data delivery for many real-time applications. In this paper, we address the problem of achieving rates that maximize the total receiver utility for multirate multicast se ..."

Estimating Membership in a Multicast Session

by Sara Alouf, Eitan Altman, Chadi Barakat, Philippe Nain , 2003
"... We propose two novel on-line estimation algorithms to determine the size of a dynamic multicast group. We first use a Wiener filter to derive an optimal estimator for the membership size of the session in case the join process is Poisson and the lifetime of participants is distributed exponentially. ..."

Protecting Multicast Sessions in Wireless Mesh Networks

by Xin Zhao, Chun Tung Chou, Jun Guo, Sanjay Jha
"... To support reliable multicast routing in wireless mesh networks, it is important to protect multicast sessions against link or node failures. The issue of protecting multicast sessions in wireless mesh networks is a new problem to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we propose a resilient forw ..."

Efficient distributed search for multicast session keywords

by Piyush Harsh, Richard Newman - In International Conference on Internet Computing , 2009
"... Abstract — mDNS is a proposed DNS-aware, hierarchical, and scalable multicast session directory architecture that enables multicast session registration and makes them discoverable in real time. It supports domain-specific as well as global searches for candidate sessions. This paper improves mDNS g ..."

Grooming of multicast sessions in WDM ring networks

by Harsha V. Madhyastha, N. Srinivas, Girish V. Chowdhary, C. Siva Ram Murthy - IN PROC. SPIE OPTICOMM , 2003
"... In this paper, we address the problem of routing and wavelength assignment of multicast sessions with subwavelength traffic demands. We consider this problem in the scenario of WDM ring networks. In order to support multicasting, individual nodes need to have the capability to duplicate traffic. We ..."

Robust Provisioning of Multicast Sessions in Cognitive Radio Networks

by Abdullah M. Almasoud, Ahmed E. Kamal
"... Abstract — Today’s wireless networks use fixed spectrum over long term and fixed geographical regions. However, spectrum utilization varies by time and location, which leads to temporal and special spectrum underutilization. Cognitive radio is an emerging technology that enables dynamic sharing of t ..."

two algorithms which provide robust multicasting in such networks. Our proposed algorithms are: 1) multicast sessions protection with link-sharing trees and 2) multicast sessions protection using rings. These algo-rithms provision multiple multicast sessions, and protect them against a single primary

Protecting multicast sessions in WDM optical mesh networks

by Narendra K. Singhal, Biswanath Mukherjee - Journal of Lightwave Technology , 2003
"... Abstract—Recent advances in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technology are expected to facilitate bandwidth-intensive multicast applications. However, a single fiber (bundle) cut on such a network can disrupt the transmission of information to several destination nodes on a “light tree”-based ..."

”-based multicast session. Thus, it is imperative to protect multicast sessions e.g., by reserving resources along backup trees. We show that, if a backup tree is directed-link-disjoint to its primary counterpart, then data loss can be prevented in the event of any single link failure. We provide mathematical
