On the Number of MPLS LSPs Using Multicast Tree Aggregation
Overview Multicast tree aggregation is an efficient proposition that can solve the multicast forwarding state scalability problem. Existing works on tree aggregation have focused on developing and simulating protocols that build trees dynamically. However, the underlying problem of the impact of the tree construction algorithm on the performance of the protocols remains untouched. This paper proposes a study on the number of trees that need to be configured in a domain depending on the tree construction algorithm. The paper ran extensives simulations on several real domains and with different tree construction algorithms. The results show that for a given set of multicast groups, even when this set includes all the possible groups, the number of trees that need to be configured is small.
