End-host Multicast Project
Although people have deployed IP Multicast on the core
routers and switches in the Internet recently, IP Multicast is still
not widely available after being proposed over ten years.
Therefore, there has been a trend of moving multicast support from the
network layer into the application layer. There have been many studies
to design, implement and evaluate various protocols for end-host
multicast. An end-host multicast protocol builds an application-level
overlay that connects members in a multicast group through unicast
connections. Members in the multicast group then use this overlay
for the delivery of multicast content.
The key issues in building the application overlay are how to reduce
the performance penalty and how to minimize the duplicate packets
going through the same physical link. In this page, we present our
effort to build an efficient and scalable end-host mulitcast protocol.
