A Multicast Protocol Based on Improved HyperCast
LI Ming-wei · Computer Engineering and Science · 2010
Reliable and scalable multicast is an active research field of multicast based on hypercube. Hypercast-plus based on HyperCast and CubeFullDist is presented to solve the problem of multicast reliability. Because the nodes in multicast may leave or join at any moment,it is difficult to maintain. The mechanism is implemented by saving the information of the node's neighborhoods and adding logic links when the physical links are missing. According to the theoretial analysis and simulations,the Hypercast-plus protocol shows more efficient reliability.
