SIMMT-11 : Implementation of Network Simulator for IP Multicast Using Multiple MCSs on the ATM Networks
Taeyoung EIyun · 2001
In this paper, we implemented a network simulator for performance evaluations of various IP multicast schemes over ATM networks. We also described design details of network simulator, in which necessary software modules can be added easily. This network simulator can generate various random networks, assigns multiple multicasting servers and many group members with various distribution patterns over a random networks. In addition, we can apply various routing-related algorithms to the network simulator so as to acquire results of performance evaluations. We show the correct behavior of implemented simulator by evaluating the performance of several recovery schemes for an impaired multicast tree in case some multicast servers are fail.
