Efficient Overlay Multicast for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Overview Overlay multicast protocol builds a virtual mesh spanning all member nodes of a multicast group. It employs standard unicast routing and forwarding to fulfill multicast functionality. The advantages of this approach are robustness and low overhead. However, efficiency is an issue since the generated multicast trees are normally not optimized in terms of total link cost and data delivery delay. This paper proposes an efficient overlay multicast protocol to tackle this problem in MANET environment. The virtual topology gradually adapts to the changes in underlying network topology in a fully distributed manner. A novel Source-Based Steiner tree algorithm is proposed for constructing the multicast tree.

Telco-friendly Ethernet 'ready for action'

A major effort has been put into making metro Ethernet resilient, with the MEF specifications providing an alternative to Ethernet's "spanning tree algorithm", which will allow the networks to recover from a broken link within 50 milliseconds...

Web services - the only way to make Wi-Fi fly for business?

As a member of the Centrino campaign, Iona is entitled to refer to itself by the slightly bizarre title of "Fellow Traveller". The company unveiled Mobile Orchestrator, a product designed to support distributed business processes across unreliable...

Convergence: lower costs and extra flexibility - the IP VPN promise

IP VPNs supported by the Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) quality of service standard offer a premium virtual network service over a private IP network. Is it any wonder, asks Stewart Baines, that network managers are increasingly turning to...

What are IP VPNs good for?

Because IPSec encrypts data before forwarding it over the IP VPN and then decrypting it, there's a delay that makes using these apps together tough, and practically prohibits voice packets. In infrastructure terms, they generally have three choices.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

But IP, of course, was not designed to provide a guaranteed quality of service (QoS) to the traffic it carries; it was originally designed as a way of diversely routing data to ensure redundancy in case network nodes were being jammed, crashed or...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
