Scalability of Reliable Group Communication Using Overlays
This study provides some new insights into the scalability of reliable group communication mechanisms using overlays. These mechanisms use individual TCP connections... -
Bandwidth-Sharing Schemes for Multiple Multi-Party Sessions
A recent means for enabling multicast in the Internet involves deploying network overlays where end-systems participate in the forwarding of data to other end-systems.... -
TICP: TCP-friendly Information Collecting Protocol
We present and validate TICP, a TCP-friendly reliable transport protocol to collect information from a large number of receivers spread over the Internet. TICP is a... -
A VPRN Solution for Fully Secure and Efficient Group Communications
In this paper we show how to build a fully secure and efficient group communication service between several sites. This service is built on top of a VPN environment... -
Scalable Video Streaming over ALC (SVSoA): a Solution for the Large Scale Mul...
This paper introduces a novel approach, SVSoA, for the streaming of hierarchic- ally encoded videos using multicast IP, which fully benefits from the Asynchronous... -
Consideration of Multicast Channel Announcement Architecture
In this document, we propose a new multicast session directory system, «Channel Reflector». One of the goals of this system is to provide a feasible channel... -
Source and channel adaptive rate control for multicast layered video transmis...
This paper addresses the problem of congestion control for video transmission in large multicast groups. In order to solve the well-known feedback implosion problem in... -
Computing multicast trees in dynamic networks using evolving graphs
New technologies and the deployment of mobile and nomadic services are driving the emergence of complex communications networks, that have a highly dynamic behavior.... -
Securing Group Management in IPv6 with Cryptographically Generated Addresses
Currently, group membership management in IP Multicast and Anycast can be abused in order to launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. The root of the problem is that... -
Performance Evaluation of Multicast Trees in Adhoc Networks
An adhoc wireless network is a network composed of mobile hosts with no fixed infrastructure and no central administration. The main constraints in these networks are... -
Estimating Membership in a Multicast Session
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... -
Performance Metrics for Multicast Flows on Random Trees
We consider a flow of data packets from one source to many destinations in a communication network represented by a random oriented tree. The multicast mode is... -
Optimal On-Line Estimation of the Size of a Dynamic Multicast Group
In this paper we propose an optimal on-line estimation algorithm for determini- ng the size of a dynamic multicast group. By using diffusion approximation and Kalman... -
TUF: a Tag-based UDP Multicast Flow Control Protocol
Considerable efforts have focused on congestion control protocols for large-scale multicast applications, but in most cases, these consider only single rate sessions.... -
Optimal Wavelength-Routed Multicasting
Motivated by wavelength division multiplexing in all-optical networks, we consider the problem of finding a set of paths from a fixed source to a multiset of... -
