A Mobile Multicast Protocol Based on Dynamic Multicast Agent

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

IETF mobile IP working group has proposed two basic multicast mechanisms for mobile host in mobile IP protocol: bi-directional tunnel(MIP-BT) and remote subscription(MIP-RS),which have complementary advantages and shortcomings.In this paper,the authors assimilate the advantages of these two proposals,and present a new mobile multicast protocol based on the dynamic multicast(agent.) It is a compromise between shortest forwarding path and reducing the frequency of rebuilding multicast tree,thus it achieves its goal for using network resources more effectively.The simulation result shows that the proposal has a good integrated performance.It is a new efficient mobile multicast arithmetic in IPv6 environment.
