SUMMARYThere has recently been much discussion of MPLS multicast approaches. MMT and BLAST-Cast have been proposed as means of establishing multicast LSP using unicast LSP. These techniques are useful not only as transfer techniques in introducing the MPLS multicast technique, but also for the deployment of MPLS multicasting in established MPLS networks, since the scale can be expanded stepwise, and the cost of deployment and operation can be reduced in the deployment of MPLS multicast in established MPLS networks. However, there have been few studies of the detailed signaling protocol to be used in such an approach, or of problems accompanying these techniques. Consequently, we investigated a signaling protocol that can be applied to these approaches, and devised an MPLS multicast mechanism using RSVP-TE. The proposed mechanism was implemented and evaluated. This paper discusses the design and implementation of the proposed mechanism, together with its evaluation.

“…But multicast traffic has specific characteristics due to the nature of the multicast routing protocols [2]. Indeed, the multicast routing is based on multicast IP address and this is why it is very difficult to aggregate multicast traffic since receivers belonging to the same group can be located at multiple localizations.…”

Abstract-In this paper, we study multicast tree construction in MPLS network. We discuss the difficulty in combining multicast and MPLS in a network. We describe some MPLS proposals for the multicast traffic and we justify the need for defining a new protocol. Thereafter we propose MMT, the MPLS Multicast Tree protocol, which uses MPLS LSP (Label switched Path) between multicast tree branching nodes in order to reduce the multicast routing states in routers and to increase scalability. We present improvements to MMT protocol and we evaluate it in term of scalability and efficiency. Finally, we present simulation results to validate our evaluation and we conclude that the MMT protocol seems promising and well adapted to a possible implementation of multicast traffic engineering in the network.

“…A multicast group address represents a flat virtual network without any capability to subset group members logically or by physical location/distance in the underlying network. Multicasting in the Internet relies on establishing a well-known shared network-layer address space (so-called Class D addressing in IPv.4 and distinguished by a specific prefix in IPv.6) in which messages, or streams of information, are routed from one source to multiple receivers that recognize that address [8,13]. The transport or routing of multicast streams is not as important in the discussions here as what happens to the different stream of packets arriving from different producers at the consumer.…”

Abstract. Traditionally, device relationships in a production studio are established and managed by physically routing the different cables that carry the relevant streams, together with any required synchronization references. IPbased networks offer a common infrastructure for the distribution of broadcast content as well as the deployment of integrated production and management solutions. This paper describes the design and implementation of components based on the OMG Audio/Video Streams Specification to facilitate the rapid integration of devices during the initial set-up phase, and the control and management of media content flow during normal operations for the purpose of program production within an IP broadcast environment.
