Micro-mobility protocols have been developed to reduce the control message overhead due to movements of mobile nodes. With the spread of mobile devices, services using mobile nodes are increasing and multicast services are becoming more important in providing multimedia services. In this paper we propose a new multicast protocol suitable for micro-mobility environments. The proposed protocol is designed to maintain optimal multicast routing paths and continue to provide multicast services without disruption in spite of frequent handoffs due to movements of mobile nodes. We used simulation to evaluate the proposed protocol, compared its performance with existing multicast protocols for mobile environments including bi-directional tunneling, remote subscription, and MMA, and observed that the proposed protocol exhibited better performance in terms of transmission success ratio and overhead on the network.

The interest for IPv6, which is next generation IP, increases, while the difficulty for adopting it into IT industries also increases too. We also expect that Internet technologies develop on basis of All-IP networks, which include various heterogeneous networks. Therefore, it is necessary for network to support mobility and multicast capability to create applications with wide-variety. In this paper, we propose a new mobile multicasting protocol called Mobile IPv6 Multicast Protocol(MIMP). The proposed scheme satisfies no packet losses from roaming and optimal routing efficiency.

IP Multicast can efficiently provide enormous bandwidth savings by enabling sources to send a single copy of a message to multiple recipients who explicitly want to receive the information. But due to the complexity of IP multicast and its fundamental differences from unicast, there are not very many tools available fer monitoring and debugging multicast networks, and only a few experts understand the tools that do exist. This thesis proposes a Multicast Routing Debugger (MRD) system that monitor the status of a multicast network. This system is aimed to multicast-related faults detection. In thesis, first, we define the set of information that should be monitored. Second, the method is developed to take out such information from multicast routers. Third, MRD system is prototyped to collect, process information from heterogeneous routers on a multicast network and to display the various status of the network comprehensively. The prototype of MRD system is implemented and deployed. We perform experiments with several scenarios. Experimental results show we can detect various problems as information that we define is monitored. The MRD system is simple to use, web-based and intuitive tool that can monitor the status of a specific multicast network.

Mobile multimedia services such as TV-call or video streaming are gradually becoming popular in the 3rd or more generation mobile network (IMT-2000). Multimedia traffic is expected to continue increasing into the coming years, and IP technology is considered to be the efficient way of transporting such huge volumes of multimedia traffic. IP-based IMT network platform represents an evolution from IMT-2000. The structure of IP-based IMT network as ubiquitous platform is three-layered model : Middleware including Network Control PlatForm (NCPF) and Service Support PlatForm (SSPF), IP-BackBone (IP-BB), access network including sensor network. Mobility Management (MM) architecture in NCPF is proposed for IP-based IMT network in order to manage routing information and location information separately. The generous existing method of multicast control in IP-based IMT network is Remote Subscription. But Remote Subscription has problem that should be reconstructed whole multicast tree when sender in multicast tree moves to another area. To solve this problem, we propose the way to put Multicast-manager in NCPF.

In this paper, I will describe the trends of multicast address allocation mechanism. IP Multicast efficiently supports this type of transmission by enabling sources to send a single copy of a message to multiple recipients who explicitly want to receive the information. Generally, MAAs server or MADCAP servers are used to allocate multicast addresses. As the need of home networking and autoconfiguring network mechanism has been increased, not only automatic host IP configuration but also automatic multicast address generation mechanism was demanded. in this paper, I will explain the automatic multicast address mechanism in a host. management techniques and the trends of multicast address generation and allocation mechanism that is bong now discussed In IETF.

The packet loss problem that occurs in the mobile multicast (MoM) protocol due to designated multicast service provider(DMSP) handoff is investigated through simulation experiments for several DMSP selection policies. Then, two enhanced DMSP schemes are proposed to minimize the packet loss of the MoM protocol with single DMSP. The first scheme uses a backup DMSP and greatly reduces the packet loss rate at the expense of the increased network traffic. The second scheme utilizes the extended DMSP operation and shows many desirable features such as the almost zero packet loss rate and relatively low network traffic.

IP Multicast that provides best-efforts service does not guarantee reliable delivery of multicast packets. In recent years, there are many approaches to support reliable multicast, but those are insufficient for implementing scalable and reliable multicast over Internet. We propose a Reliable Multicast Architecture(RMA) for scalable and reliable multicast. The RMA model guarantees reliability using a receiver initiated retransmission mechanism, and scalability using a feedback suppression mechanism by Multicast Router(MR). Furthermore, it utilizes underlying multicast routing information to minimize the cost of protocol modification and overheads. Our performance analyses show that RMA is much superior to previous works in the point of scalability and compatibility.

Recently, Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) has received much attention as a mobility management protocol in next-generation all-IP mobile networks. While the current research related to PMIPv6 mainly focuses on providing efficient handovers for unicast-based applications, there has been relatively little interest in supporting multicast services with PMIPv6. To provide support for multicast services with PMIPv6, there are two alternative approaches called Mobile Access Gateway (MAG)-based subscription and Local Mobility Anchor (LMA)-based subscription. However, MAG-based subscription causes a large overhead for multicast joining and LMA-based subscription provides non-optimal multicast routing paths. The two approaches may also cause a high packet loss rate. In this paper, we propose an efficient PMIPv6-based multicast protocol that aims to provide an optimal delivery path for multicast data and to reduce handover delay and packet loss rate. Through simulation studies, we found that the proposed protocol outperforms existing multicast solutions for PMIPv6 in terms of end-to-end delay, service disruption period, and the number of lost packets during handovers.

While the Internet is suffering from the massive data such as video stream, IP multicast can ease the load of the Internet by enabling one copy of digital information to be received by multiple computers simultaneously. But If multicast is based on UDP, packets are delivered using a best-effort Policy without any reliability, congestion control or flow control. Multicast group members can join or leave a multicast group at will, and multicast uses broadcast mechanism, it's very hard to keep security from unauthorized members. In this paper, we introduce a new reliable multicast protocol TRDMF proper for one-to-many multicast model with reliability, flow control, congestion control and key management.
