PIM-DM is a multicast routing protocol that uses the underlying unicast routing information base to flood multicast datagrams to all multicast routers

Figure 7.5 Small Size Graph: Multicast Receivers Connectivity versus Average Mesh Degree In Figure 7.6 and 7.7, we study the connectedness of each multicast receiver in

We propose then a generalized version of the Xcast protocol, called GXcast, intended to permit the Xcast packets fragmentation and to support the increasing number of members in

As the outdegree increases the prob- ability that at least part of this shortest path overlaps with the existing MC tree becomes lower (The decreasing number of neighbor overlaps

is a good generic model for the loss character- istics of real multicast trees and provides more realistic results than the MFAN for which a loss aects always only one

receivers are chosen at random locations. Depending on the ex- periment, this may be repeated several times to obtain several multicast trees, each with a single source and the

As the size of the multicast group increases, the minimum bandwidth seen by the unicast receivers dramatically decreases for the LinRD policy, whereas the minimum bandwidth for

For this aim, this paper proposes a new multicast routing protocol called Multicast Routing protocol with Dynamic Core (MRDC) which constructs and maintains a group- shared tree
