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.

To provide multicasting service, several multicast protocols for mobile hosts have been proposed. But they include glitches such as a non-optimal delivery route, data loss when hosts move another network, therefore they have some insecure problems about multicast data transmission. In this paper, we consider these problems and propose a new reliable and efficient multicast routing protocol for Mobile If networks. The proposed protocol provides reliable multicast transmission by compensating data loss from the previous agent when a mobile host moves another network. Also it provides additional function that is directly to connect a multicast tree according to the status of agents. It provides more efficient and optimal multicast path. The performance of the proposed protocol is proved by simulation of various conditions.

Reliable multicast data transmission in a 1:N environment needs more sophisticated error control mechanism than that of in 1:1 environment due to ACK implosion and duplicated retransmission. Although there have been many related research on error control in reliable multicast, real implemented protocols are rare. As one of the reliable multicast transport protocols, ECTP is selected as an international standard reliable multicast protocol by ITU-T and ISO and implemented on RedHat 7.2 machine by us. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the error control mechanism in the respect of throughput and generated control packet numbers with a real implementation code. From the results, it is concluded that the suitable values of error control parameters can be obtained from the local group size and network environments.

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.

A Multicast transfer is a critical delivery method to provide a transport service to multipeer applications, the various problems on the multicast transfer environments have been occurred from the results of current research. One of these problems is the multicast transport service issue to guarantee reliability and scalability. First, this paper presents the related research of the reliable multicast transport methods, and then proposes a new transfer architecture using the Agent Sender and Receiver Concept(ASRC) to solve a reliable multicast transfer issue. we also propose a method to apply the proposed architecture(ASRC) to the well-known sender-initiated and receiver-initiated transport protocol. In order 새 validate the proposed ASRC architecture, t도 applied sender and receiver system si compared and analyzed over the processing requirement and maximum throughput.

A lot of institutes have proposed RMT (Reliable Multicast Transport) techniques over IP multicast environment which provides only best-effort services. The ECTP (Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol) is a kind of RMT technique and an international standard of ITU-T and JTC1/SC6. It is a protocol that provides reliability fer IP multicast environment. In this paper, we tested ECTP applications which are MFTP (Multicast file transport protocol) and WB (white Board) on the APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) with the Kyushu University in Japan. We measured ECTP traffic using a packet capture tool that programmed by Pcap library that is developed in Lawrence Berkeley institute. In according to the result, we think that ECTP is an efficient protocol in transporting files to many receivers simultaneously.

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.

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 an efficient network communication scheme tailored to the network virtual reality(NVR) system. We first present the architecture and implementation of CVRAT (collaborative virtual reality authoring tool). The design goal of CVRAT is to provide consistent and scalable shared virtual environments. To achieve this goal, we classify the network messages according to their reliability and latency requirements. These conflicting requirements lead us to conceive a heterogeneous communication scheme which provides the unicast and three different multicast transport services; unreliable multicast, receiver-driven reliable multicast, fast reliable multicast. Each protocol has trade-offs in reliability, latency and bandwidth usage. The characteristics are analyzed by several experiments. Finally, applying this communication method to multi-participant battle-field tank simulation, we show the efficacy of proposed heterogeneous transport mechanism.

Fast handover protocol provides seamless handover in mobile Ipv6 networks by reducing handover latency. This paper proposes FMIP-M mechanism to apply this advantage of fast handover protocol to multicast service. The FMIP-M is a fast handover mechanism that supports a reliable multicast service in mobile Ipv6 networks. When hosts move other networks, they may have seine data missing and out-of-synch problems of multicast data. The proposed mechanism provides reliable multicast transmission by compensating data losses from the previous AR. Also it provides an additional function that is able to change multicasting service types dynamically in accordance with network status related with multicasting. So that it is able to make multicast paths very close to the optimum and more efficient multicast service is possible. The performance of the proposed mechanism is evaluated by a time analysis and simulations in various conditions.
