Description
This book examines multicast technology and will be a key text forundergraduate engineering students and master students in networksand telecoms. However, it will be equally useful for a wide rangeof professionals in this research field.
Multicast routing was introduced with the advent of multipartyapplications (for example, videoconferencing on the Internet) andcollaborative work (for example, distributed simulations). It isrelated to the concept of group communication, a techniqueintroduced to reduce communication costs.
The various problems of multicast routing on the Internet areexamined in detail. They include: group membership management,quality of service, reliability, safety, scalability and transport.Throughout the text, several protocols are introduced in order toanalyze, compare and cover the various aspects of multicastrouting.
