Abstract:
Multicast protocols require either the participation of hosts in group management or partial address lists of the group members to be sent to end-points (hosts), thus creating a privacy issue. In our new protocol for 1:n multicast over the Internet, senders perform all group management while receivers do not require explicit support for the protocol. The protocol copes with varying degrees of support by routers in the network and avoids the disclosure of others’ addresses to end-points. Performance evaluation shows a decrease of the total volume of traffic in the network of up to 1:5 as compared to unicast, suggesting suitability for applications, such as Internet Protocol Television (IP-TV), video conferences, online auctions and others.
