Abstract

Due to the deployment problem of the IP Multicast service, the Application Layer Multicast (or Overlay Multicast) has appeared as an alter-native of the If Multicast. However, even though plenty of the Application Layer Multicast (ALM) Protocols were designed and their applications were developed according to the diverse requirements of each multicast service, researches on the ALM Protocols are focused on only a protocol design or an efficient multicast group management algorithm. And there is little effort to provide a unified guideline for development of the ALM Protocols and provide an environment for running multiple protocols simultaneously in a system. In this paper, we propose socket APIs to be a reference in developing new ALM Protocols which enables a system to support multiple protocols in a system with other ALM Protocols and which gives an environment to support efficient protocol management.

IP 멀티캐스트 서비스 실현의 기술적, 비용적인 한계로 인하여 그에 대한 대안으로 응용 계층 멀티캐스트(Application Layer Multicast)가 대두되고 있다. 응용 계층 멀티캐스트 프로토콜은 현재까지 각 멀티캐스트 서비스의 요구사항에 맞게 다양하게 개발되어 왔으나, 지금까지의 연구는 각 응용 프로그램의 요구사항에 맞는 프로토콜의 디자인이나 효율적인 멀티캐스트 그룹 관리 기법에만 치중되어 왔을 뿐, 효율적인 프로토콜의 개발 방법에 관한 연구나 기존의 여러 프로토콜의 다중 사용에 관한 연구는 그 진척이 미비한 상황이었다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 응용 계층 멀티캐스트 프로토콜의 개발을 용이하게 하는 응용 계층 멀티캐스트 프로토콜의 개발을 위한 API를 제시하고, 한 시스템에서 여러 개의 응용 계층 멀티캐스트 프로토콜의 다중 동작과 관리를 용이하게 하는 프로토콜 통합 관리를 위한 API와 프레임워크를 제안한다.
