“…Active Error Recovery(AER) [7] is very similar to LMS. In AER, each router that has a repair server attached periodically announces its existence to the downstream routers and receivers, and serves as a retransmitter of the lost data on the subtree below it, or collects and sends NACKs upstream.…”

“…Over the past several years, many studies on the reliable multicast transport have been made [4], [7], [16], and of those research works, the Tree-based ACK(TRACK) protocol is one of the promising RMT protocols of which the error recovery, congestion control and other functionalities are provided over a pre-configured logical tree [9], [15]. This mechanism is known to provide high scalability as well as reliability [10] since it reforms a multicast group into a logical tree rooted by a sender.…”

Abstract. For reliable multicast service, the mechanism based on hierarchical control tree can be a promising solution to avoid well-known feedback implosion. However, configuration of an efficient control tree is very difficult for IP Multicast because it does not provide explicit membership and routing topology information to upper layer protocol. If the transport layer tree and the network layer tree are very different, it may take large cost to handle control messages. Especially, when a node at a downstream link of the network routing tree becomes a parent node of an upstream link at the control tree of transport layer, the discrepancy between routing tree and control tree causes to waste network resources by redundant messages. This problem can be solved if router that knows the information on routing topology can support configuration of a control tree and reliable delivery. However, the change of router function embraces deployment problem. Thus, this paper proposed a very simple method of router assist to minimize change of router functions. With this method, routers are only required to recognize message types of control messages in order to forward the messages to correct direction: upstream or downstream.

“…In active networking [23], routers can execute, through an execution environment similar to an operating system (ANTS [24] for instance), application-dependent functions on incoming packet. With new perspectives both for Telco operators and end-users, the use of active network concepts has been proposed in many research areas including multicast protocols [25,14,3], distributed interactive simulations [28] and network management [22]. There are many difficulties, however, for deploying in a large scale an active networking infrastructure.…”

“…There has been huge amount of work in the multicast area with contributions in both the end-to-end category [26,5,20,27] and the router-assisted category [25,14,19,3,11]. For instance, ARM (Active Reliable Multicast) [25] and AER (Active Error Recovery) [14] are two protocols that use a best-effort cache of data packets to permit local recoveries.…”

Abstract. The ever growing needs for computation power and accesses to critical resources have launched in a very short time a large number of grid projects and many realizations have been done on dedicated network infrastructures. On Internetbased infrastructures, however, there are very few distributed or interactive applications (MPI, DIS, HLA, remote visualization) because of insufficient end-to-end performances (bandwidth, latency for example) to support such an interactivity. For the moment, computing resources and network resources are viewed separately in the grid architecture and we believe this is the main bottleneck for achieving end-to-end performances. In this paper, we promote the idea of a grid infrastructure able to adapt to the application's needs and thus define the idea of application-aware grid infrastructures where the network infrastructure is tightly involved in both the communication and processing process. We report on our early experiences in building application-aware components based on active networking technologies for providing a low latency and a low overhead multicast framework for applications running on a computational grid. Performance results from both simulations and implementation prototypes confirm that introducing application-aware components at specific location in the network infrastructure can succeed in providing not only performances for the end-users but also new perspectives in building a communication framework for computational grids.
