A Survey of Application-level Multicast Group Communication and a Proposal for Intelligent Reflectors
Janine Kniess, Célio V. N. Albuquerque · 2007
The article proposes the state of the art in techniques and models designed to solve issues in application-layer IP multicast. Specifically, the issue of group communication for distributing video flows using reflectors to participants at a videoconference is considered. A proposed solution is introduced, involving an algorithm capable of dynamically discovering the appropriate reflector to meet a given client’s needs. Simulations results show the efficiency of using reflectors in this type of application. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
