Chapter 1What is Multicast Routing?

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 1 –14

[Consider a telecommunications network consisting of a set of nodes connected by arcs. The network might be, e.g., the Internet, or the private network offered by a service provider such as AT&T. A node represents a physical device, such as a switch or router, connected to other devices. The term...

Chapter 2Basic Concepts in Tree Based Methods

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 15 –34

[Tree based approaches distribute packets along a tree. The tree is logical, but not necessarily physical; the routing follows a tree but the underlying physical network topology (e.g., the fiber optic cables) need not have a tree topology.]

Chapter 3Dynamic Routing Methods

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 35 –62

[Multicast routing protocols generally include two components, one component for communication between routers and subtending hosts, and one component for communication between routers. Sections 3.1 and 3.2 discuss methods for communication between routers and hosts, and the subsequent sections...

Chapter 4Other Multicast Routing Methods

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 63 –76

[In this chapter we review some other approaches to multicast.We contrast application versus overlay methods, describe a gossip based system motivated by peer-to-peer file sharing techniques, and present a method based upon distributed hashing. We describe a method enabling hosts with only...

Chapter 5Inter-domain and Two-level Multicast

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 77 –86

[The scope (region of applicability) of an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), such as OSPF or ISIS, is a domain. The scope often corresponds to an AS, or it might be defined by the need to keep the number of nodes within the scale supported by the IGP protocol. An Exterior Gateway Protocol,...

Chapter 6Aggregate Multicast Trees

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 87 –96

[We have seen how a shared tree, e.g., as created by BiDir, reduces multicast state by requiring only (*, g) state per node, rather than (s, g) state per node for a source tree. The subject of state reduction has enjoyed considerable attention, and various techniques, such as tunnelling, have...

Chapter 7Multicast Virtual Private Networks

Rosenberg, Eric

Pages: 97 –112

[When a customer (e.g, a business, university, or branch of government) needs secure and reliable telecommunications, it can build its own network, or it can go to a Service Provider (SP), such as AT&T, who offers Virtual Private Network (VPN) services over its backbone network. The adjective...
