Robust multipath multicast routing algorithms for videos in Software-Defined Networks

An SDN based CBT for Distributed Shared Memory

“…Under the guidance of this tactics, video transmission can be achieved in a predictable time. [12] [13] [14] studied how to use SDN to realize IP multicast and show how many benefits can be grasped from SDN based multicast. Though these SDN-based multicasts are manageable, cost-effective and predictable yet all of them are only suited for one-point-to-multiple-point scenario.…”

Random Tree Multicast Communications in Reconfigurable Network

“…To improve the robust, load balanced and adaptive of the video multicast, Lee el al. [19] designed an algorithms to compute multipath multicast in SDN. To address the multicast scalability problem in SDN, Huang.…”

DYNSDM: Dynamic and flexible software-defined multicast for ISP environments

“…in case MSTs are built). Therefore, DYNSDM adopts an approach based on a mechanism proposed in [23], attaching new clients by finding paths using a breadth-first search (BFS) from the new client to the active subtrees. This way, new clients can quickly be connected by only adding new flow rules on the BFS paths and modifying a single rule per subtree at the switch connecting the path to the active tree.…”

“…In realistic ISP scenarios with millions of clients, this would imply a substantial overhead. Therefore, DYNSDM uses a more efficient BFS-based attachment from [23], avoiding unnecessary calculations and making groups easier to manage.…”

“…Finally, Lee et al [23] present a closely related approach that, in fact, inspired some mechanisms of DYNSDM. A major difference is that DYNSDM is a general multicasting service, while Lee et al specifically focus on video streaming.…”
