Abstract

This paper presents an efficient overlay multicast routing protocol (ROMP) and its architecture. ROMP using GPS and region map stands on the basis of scalable 2-tiered multicast architecture and maintains a global overlay multicast tree through reactive fashion. With this approach, the coarse-grain location-awareness for an efficient overlay multicasting and the determination of hot-spot area for efficient data delivery are feasible. The simulation results show that the localized control packets of ROMP prevent the overlay control packets from squandering the physical network resources.
