In view of the past, the mobility of the multicast source in the mobility networks is seldom discussed in the traditional multicast protocols. It is a heavy cost for the traditional multicast protocols to reconstruct the multicast tree in the Network Mobility (NEMO) environment. This article proposes an alternative multicast protocol, referred to as Mobility-Sensitive Multicast protocol (MSM), for the NEMO environment. The MSM can be considered as an alternative version of the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) protocol to maintain the multicast tree in the NEMO. There are two obvious contributions for the MSM. Reconstruct mechanism could rebuild the multicast tree for the mobility of the multicast source. Multi-group suppression mechanism reduce the multicast tree maintaining cost for the mobility of the multicast members. Through the performance evaluations and analyses, the MSM has less cost to maintain the multicast tree than the traditional multicast protocols, especially for a large numbers of multicast groups. Moreover, the MSM allows the mobility of the multicast source to reconstruct the multicast tree easily.

Multicasting is the delivery of a packet simultaneously to one or more destinations using a single, local transmit operation. Typically the set of destinations is referred to as a multicast group. sources transmit to these group addresses without knowing the group's actual membership. We have studied an implementation of one model of supporting IP multicast over ATM, the Multicast over ATM model developed by the IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force). MCOA(Multicast over ATM) that includes both these modes of operation and the behavior of each in a testbed where the ATM host were connected in a WAN and LAN. WAN topology was to gain insight into the effects of larger propagation delays on the MC over ATM model.

In mobile Internet environment, providing multicast requires much more complex mechanism comparing with the unicast Mobile IP routing protocol. This is because multicast datagrams are sent to a group address that do not belong to a specific network. The IETF Mobile IP suggested two approaches for mobile multicasting, namely remote subscription and hi-directional tunneling. In remote subscription, a mobile node may join a group via a local multicast router on the visited subnet. Therefore remote subscription may cause much datagram loss while reconstructing the delivery tee. In bi-directional tunneling, a mobile node may join a group via a hi-directional tunnel to its home agent. Bi-directional tunneling may suffer from inefficient routing. In this paper, we proposed a new mobile multicasting protocol, Mobile If Multicast using Local Broadcast(MIMLB) which can receive multicast datagrams as fast as possible and optimize routing path for multicast delivery. The MIMLB protocol uses hi-directional tunneling to receive multicast datagrams. And the MIMLB protocol can resolve datagram duplicated problem and optimize routing path by using local broadcast. Simulation results show that MIMLB reduces delivery path length and optimizes multicast routing path when a mobile nod? moves into a foreign network.

In Internet, IP multicast has been used successfully to provide an efficient, best-effort delivery service for group communication applications. However, applications such as multiparty private conference, distribution of stock market information, pay per view and other subscriber services may require secure multicast to protect integrity and confidentiality of the group traffic, and validate message authenticity. Providing secure multicast for group communication is problematic without a robust group key management. In this paper, we propose a group key management scheme based on the secret sharing technology to require each member by itself to generate the group key when receiving a rekeying message multicast by the group key distributor. The proposed scheme enforces mutual authentication between a member and the group key distributor while executing the rekeying process, and provides forward secrecy and backward secrecy properties, and resists replay attack, impersonating attack, group key disclosing attack and malicious insider attack.

To support emerging group applications such as network games and Internet live-casting efficiently. IP multicast mechanism is highly needed. But IP multicast still has not been deployed in the current Internet because of its difficulty to manage. Overlay multicast mechanisms are proposed to serve group communications more effectively in the current unicast oriented Internet. In this paper we categorize the proposed ones into topological view point.

The need for high bandwidth, very dynamic secure internet multicast communications is increasingly evident in a wide variety of commercial, government, and internet communities. One of the most recently researches is mainly about the group key distribution schemes[1,3,4,5]. In this paper, we survey related group key distribution schemes and propose a new scalable distributed group key distribution scheme which is one of the most important parts in internet multicast environment. Then, we add this scheme to the existing multicast applications and analysis the test results. The proposed SDGD minimizes the times required to distribute and redistribute keys for joining and leaving the multicast group.

In this paper, we propose a protocol that makes use of a concept of a meta-group based on propagation trees to deal with duplicated members of the same multicast group. It is shown that, if multicast tree is composed ofthese meta-groups, the depth of the tree can be shortened and the ordering of the multicast that communicatesbetween multiple senders and receivers can be easier. In the protocol, we assign a Designated Manager(DM) toeach meta-group and make each DM do the role of the representative receiver of the meta group. In this Paper,the DM's are supposed to handle ACK and retransmission for the members in the same meta group. Hence, theDM's distribute the ACK from senders, and they can reduce the burden of senders by shortening commit delaytime. We also show, through a simulation analysis, that the new multicast protocol outperforms the existing onesnot only in message costs but also in commit delay times.

In this paper we propose Clustered Group Multicast by Clustering Algorithm in Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Network. The proposed scheme applies to Weighted Cluster Algorithm Ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration or reliable support services such as wired network and base station. In ad hoc network muting protocol because of limited bandwidth and high mobility robust, simple and energy consume minimal. WCGM method uses a base structure founded on combination weighted value and applies combination weight value to cluster header keeping data transmission by seeped flooding, which is the advantage of the exiting FGMP method. Because this method has safe and reliable data transmission, it shows the effect to decrease both overhead to preserve transmission structure and overhead for data transmission.

Multicast addresses cannot be permanently assigned to particular application or group combination, but need to be available for re-use. So, this requires a dynamic multicast address allocation and release mechanism. For a dynamic multicast address allocation and release mechanism, we must consider low blocking probability, low delay, low control traffic overhead. In this paper, we suggest a efficient dynamic multicast address allocation and release mechanism based on the multicast scope

By choosing Multicast for transmission of educational contents in the Remote Educational System, we can reduce the server load and increase network bandwidth utilization. We design and implement Multicast Middleware for the Remote Educational System in this paper. There are three characteristics in this Multicast Middleware: 1) Through Centralized Multicast Group Management for passive members, it allows a host to make multicast group, which is composed of receivers, called Group Member and who are chosen by the host, called group Maker. Because, all groups are created by the Group Maker in Centralized Group Management, Group Member's join action will be passive 2) Maintenance and recovery of multicast group information in order to restore from exception and crash; the maintenance and recovery mechanism of Group Maker is distinct from that of Group Member. 3) The mechanism which enables to transmit large size multimedia data through multicasting and remove additional copy operation through shared buffer. Fragmentation/de-fragmentation for large data delivery results in additional copy operation in user level. But by using user level shared buffer, it can be done without user Bevel copy operation. By applying to Remote Educational environment which consists of 30 PCs and Fast Ethernet, we can examine the efficiency of this middleware, which can transmit 18frames/sec movie which resolution 320 $\times$ 120 pixels, 128Kbps encoded sound data and some text data.
