Multicast Source Discovery Protocol MSDP is a ProtocolIndependentMulticast PIM family multicast routing protocol defined by Experimental RFC 3618. MSDP interconnects multiple IPv4 Sparse multicast PIM Sparse Mode PIM SM Domain name domains which enables PIM SM to have Rendezvous Point RP redundancy engineering redundancy and inter domain multicasting. MSDP uses TCP as its transport protocol. Each multicast tree has to have its own RP. All of the RPs are peers directly or through other MSDP peers . Messages contain Source of Data, Group Address The Data Source Sends To S,G . If an RP on its own domain receives a message it determines if there are group members on this domain interested in a multicast. If someone is interested it triggers a join towards the data source into the source domain in the way of S, G . In a peering relationship, one MSDP peer listens for new TCP connections on the well known port 639.

The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol DVMRP , defined in RFC 1075, is used to share information between router computing router s to facilitate the transportation of IP Multicast packets among networks. It forms the basis of the Internet s multicast backbone MBONE . Operation The protocol is based on the Routing Information Protocol RIP protocol for forwarding packets the router generates a routing table with the multicast group of which it has knowledge with corresponding distances i.e. number of devices routers between the router and the destination . When a multicast packet is received by a router, it is forwarded by the router s interfaces specified in the routing table. DVMRP operates via a reverse path flooding technique, sending a copy of a received packet specifically Internet Group Management Protocol IGMP messages for exchanging routing information with other routers out through each interface except the one at which the packet arrived. If a router i.e. a LAN which it borders does not wish to be part of a particular multicast group, it sends a prune message along the source path of the multicast. Criticisms Like most distance vector protocols, DVMRP has difficulties with network scaling ref name Scaling http www.savetz.com mbone apc 13.html ref , primarily due to the periodic reflooding necessary to detect new hosts.

wikify date November 2009 Also known as End System or Peer to Peer Multicast . High bandwidth multi source multicast among widely distributed nodes is a critical capability for a wide range of important applications including audio and video conferencing, multi party games and content distribution. Throughout the last decade, a number of research projects have explored the use of multicast as an efficient and scalable mechanism to support such group communication applications. Multicast decouples the size of the receiver set from the amount of state kept at any single node and potentially avoids redundant communication in the network. The limited deployment of IP Multicast, a best effort network layer multicastprotocol, has led to considerable interest in alternate approaches that are implemented at the application layer, using only End System end systems . In an overlay or end system multicast approach participating peers organize themselves into an overlay topology for data delivery. Each edge in this topology corresponds to a unicast path between two end systems or peers in the underlying Internet .

The Internet Engineering Task Force IETF created a new Internet Protocol IP to securely transmit multicast traffic across a packet network. The protocol definition was developed in the Multicast Security Workgroup and led to several Request for Comments RFC that are now used as standards for securing IP multicast traffic. The protocol allowed a sender to encrypt the multicast packet and forward it into the packet ...Orphan date February 2009 Secure Multicast IP Multicast is an internet communication method where a single data packet can be transmitted from a sender and replicated to a set of receivers. The replication techniques are somewhat dependent upon the media used to transmit the data. Transmission of multicast on an inherent broadcast media such as Ethernet or a satellite link automatically allows the data packet to be received by all the receivers directly attached to the media. In contrast, transmission of multicast on media that is point to point or point to multipoint requires the packet to be replicated for each link. The replication process should occur in an optimal manner where a distribution tree is built within the network. The packet can be replicated at each of the branches in the tree. This mitigates the requirement for the sender to replicate the packet once for each recipient. The use of IPsec as a communication link requires a point to point connection establishment. Usually, the security is required from sender to receiver which implies the sender must replicate the packet on each of the secure connections one for each receiver. As the number of receivers grows, the sender ... and forwarding the packet in the secure network environment. The sender of a multicast packet does ...

The mDNS protocol is used by Apple s Bonjour software Bonjour and Linux Avahi software Avahi service discovery systems Discovery Host Discovery Using mDNS allows to determine the IP address of a host without the help of a centralized DNS server. A machine looking for a given host sends a mDNS multicast query message. The corresponding host replies with a multicast message announcing itself. With this, all machines in the subnet can update their mDNS cache with the host s information. A host can clear its announcement to a network by sending a response packet with a Time To Live TTL equal to zero. MDNS uses the reserved namespace code .local code .

Pragmatic General Multicast PGM is a reliable multicast transport protocol. PGM provides a reliable sequence of packets to multiple recipients simultaneously, making it suitable for applications like multi receiver file transfer file transfer . Overview Multicast is a Computer networking network addressing method for the delivery of information to a group of destinations simultaneously using the most efficient strategy to deliver the messages over each link of the network only once, creating copies only when the links to the multiple destinations split typically Network switch es and router computing router s . However, like the User Datagram Protocol , multicast does not guarantee the delivery of a message stream. Messages may be dropped, delivered multiple times, or delivered out of order. A reliable multicastprotocol, like PGM, adds the ability for receivers to detect lost and or out of order messages and take corrective action similar in principle to Transmission Control Protocol TCP , resulting in a gap free, in order message stream. While TCP uses ACKs to acknowledge groups of packets sent something that would be uneconomical over multicast , PGM uses the concept of Negative Acknowledgements NAKs . A NAK is sent unicast back to the host via a defined network layer hop by hop procedure whenever there is a detection of data loss of a specific sequence. As PGM is heavily reliant on NAKs for integrity, when a NAK is sent, a NAK Confirmation NCF is sent via multicast for every hop back. Repair Data RDATA is then sent back either from the source or from a Designated Local Repairer DLR . PGM is an IETF experimental protocol.

Ad hoc QoS multicast AQM is a quality of service QoS aware multicast routing protocol designed for mobile ad hoc networks ref B r, Kaan Ersoy, Cem. http dx.doi.org 10.1016 j.comcom.2005.01.016 Ad hoc quality of service multicast routing , Computer Communications Elsevier Science , Vol. 29, No. 1, pp. 136 148, December 2005. ref . It achieves multicast efficiency by tracking the availability of resources for each Node networking node within its neighbourhood. Computation of free Bandwidth computing bandwidth is based on reservations made for ongoing sessions and the requirements reported by the neighbours. The QoS status is monitored continuously and announced periodically to the extent of QoS provision. Using these features, AQM nodes make their decisions on joining a new multicast session based on the sustainability of their perceived QoS. When nodes wish to join a session with certain service requirements, a three phase request reply reserve process ensures that the QoS information is updated and used to select the most appropriate routes. During this process, objection queries can be issued prior to reservation in order to avoid excessive resource usage by nodes which cannot detect each other directly ref B r, Kaan Ersoy, Cem. http dx.doi.org 10.1002 ett.1069 Ad hoc quality of service multicast routing with objection queries for admission control , European Transactions on Telecommunications Wiley Interscience , Vol. 17, No. 5, pp. 561 576, September 2006. ref .
