“…The culmination of these efforts is Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) [9], a reliable multicast transport protocol that guarantees that a receiver in the multicast group will either receive all data packets (from their original transmission or a retransmission), or will detect unrecoverable data packet losses. In order to avoid a feedback implosion from the large numbers of receivers towards the sender, PGM relies on two mechanisms: first, only negative acknowledgments (NAKs) are used to report missing packets and, second, a hierarchy of PGM-enabled routers, called network elements (NEs), are deployed throughout the multicast tree to aggregate feedback from the receivers towards the sender.…”

Abstract-Many proposals for the next generation of the Internet suggest moving from an end-point oriented to an informationcentric oriented architecture. Many of these proposals are based on the publish/subscribe paradigm, which lends itself naturally to native multicast support, a key factor for efficient content distribution. However, the design of efficient reliable transport protocols for multicast is a largely open problem, due to the problem of feedback implosion towards the sender as group size grows. In this paper we propose a hierarchical retransmissionbased error control scheme for a native publish/subscribe internetwork. We compare our protocol with similar approaches proposed for IP multicast and evaluate its performance against IP multicast with unicast-based error control.

“…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.

“…We have previously briefly presented a receiver-driven reliable multicast protocol for the PSI architecture [9]. In this paper, we present our Reliable Multicast Transport for PSI (RMTPSI) in detail, contrast it with Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) [10], a reliable multicast transport protocol designed for IP multicast, and evaluate our protocol's performance against PGM over the PSI architecture. Our results show that RMTPSI is more efficient than PGM, while requiring the same time to complete a reliable transfer; specifically, RMTPSI requires 2.9% to 10.2% fewer downstream and 3.5% to 12.1% fewer total transmissions than PGM.…”

Abstract-In the past few years, many researchers have argued that the Internet should transition from its traditional endpointcentric architecture to an information-centric paradigm. One of the advantages of the information-centric model is that the network can easily aggregate requests for the same content and serve them via multicast. Indeed, most information-centric architectures proposed to date offer native support for multicast, promising a vast improvement in the efficiency of content distribution. However, designing efficient reliable transport protocols for multicast is a largely open issue, due to the problem of feedback implosion towards the sender as group size grows. In this paper we propose RMTPSI, a retransmission-based reliable error control protocol for multicast communication designed specifically for information-centric networks. We compare RMTPSI with existing approaches proposed for IP multicast and evaluate its performance via simulation, showing that our approach leads to more efficient content distribution and error recovery than previous solutions.
