A Dynamic Routing Algorithm in Multicast Communication Networks
Hee‐Seon Jang, Jeom Goo Kim, Kee-Sung Cho · 2008
This paper proposes a heuristic algorithm to construct a shared-route in multicast routing networks that provide communications between multi-users such as IPTV, remote educations/health, and internet broadcasting. The measures of maximum delay, average delay, estimated delay between nodes are adopted for performance analysis. The performance of algorithm is compared with the optimal solution in which enumeration method is used to find the shared-route with minimum delay. Under the routing network with the uniformly distributed delay between nodes, the simulation results show that the algorithm using the estimated delay outperforms the other algorithms.
