Performance Analysis of IP Multicast Routing Architectures
Abstract:
The presentIPm ulticastrouting protocols can be classified into two categories in architecture: source based tree architecture and group based tree architecture. This paper analyzed and com pared the tw o architectures in their scalability, dependence on unicast routing protocols, traffic concentration, am ountofoverhead and dependence on IPsource address. Theiradvantagesand disadvantagesin kinds of applications were analyzed, w hich givesthebasisforintegration ofrouting protocolsbelonging to different architecture.
