A Reliable and Scalable Multicast Model RSM2

Masters Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science - Internet, New Technologies, grade: 9, course: M.TECH - Algo Networks, language: English, abstract: Abstract: Multicasting is the ability of a communication network to accept a single message from an application and to deliver copies of the message to multiple recipients at different locations. Our research in Multicasting, as to design a Multicast Model, which provides reliability & scalability with best path for data delivery. Reliability means guaranteed Delivery of packets. Scalability means capability to serve growing needs .In this context, a few concepts of Proactive-Routing technique are used to make available this model in Infrastructure wireless also. Minimum Spanning path and combo-casting is used to reduce the cost & delay and thus to deliver the packets. The main characteristic of RSM2 model is, to provide complete multicasting, i.e. at the same time more than one node can act as sender. This model provides one-to-many communications as well as many-to-many communications. The goal of thesis is to design an algorithm describing the function and behavior of Multicast Model (RSM2).
