Description
Multicast has emerged as one of the most efficient ways for supporting group communication, e.g., media distribution. However, IP multicast for worldwide media distribution remain limited due to its technical and deployment issues. Motivated by the studies on network layer multicast and application level multicast, we propose a dynamic mesh based overlay multicast protocol (DMMP) framework to efficiently serve a large number of cocurrent clients with relatively high inbound bandwidth and low start-up delay. Particularly, the DMMP framework only involves participating end hosts without relying on delicately deployed infrastructure nodes, while providing certain efficiency, reliability and resilience. The goal of this project to implement the basic DMMP framework and evaluate it under two scenarios: 1) dynamic scenarios; 2) NICE scenario. |
