Active Ideal Multicast Tree in MPLS Environment

Abstract

Merging MPLS andMulticast technologies is a valuable and hard issue. In this paper, presenting and analyzing a mechanism of AERM (Active Edge Routers Multicast) in MPLS environment. Setting up active ideal multicast tree by a mechanism of APM (Active and passive management), which avoids network bottleneck happening and reduces the forwarding states of the middle LSRs (Label switching routers) in Multicast Tree. It can improve the scalability of MPLS.

QoS-based MPLS multicast tree selection algorithms

“…In the second phase, the sub-graph representing the set of obtained paths is then optimized by eliminating as many cycles as possible without violating the different constraints. Later, in [35] the authors propose taboo QoS multicast routing algorithm (T-QMRA) in which the MAMCRA strategy is used to achieve the first phase . They propose improvements to the second phase of MAMCRA by adopting a meta-heuristic approach based on taboo search algorithm to provide a sub-optimal solution.…”
