Abstract:
This paper proposes an architectural management solution for a multicast hybrid infrastructure optimised to transport real time multimedia flows. The multicast capabilities are offered to the upper layers as connectivity services by an overlay multi-domain Content-Aware Network. The overall system is based on new concepts like Content-Aware Network and respectively Network Aware Application. A hybrid multicast framework, Quality of Services capable is proposed, where IP intra-domain multicast is combined with inter-domain overlay multicast. The management aspects of this infrastructure are discussed. The design, validation and implementation of a system based on this architecture are currently under development in the European FP7 ICT research project, ALICANTE.
