Scalable Internet Multicast Routing

Abstract

In distributed network applications such as multiparty teleconferencing, users often need to send the same message to several other users. To achieve such on-to-many or many-to-many communication efficiently in wide-area internet works, it is imperative to support multicast, i.e. concurrent sending of messages from one source to multiple receivers. The current IP architecture for multicast routing, the Core-Based Tree (CBT) protocol, and Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) protocol have a number of limitations for very large internets. To eliminate their limitations, we propose a new multicast routing protocol, called Scalable Internet Multicast Protocol (SIMP).
