Abstract:
Distributed mobility management is the newly emerging research trend replacing the current centralized ones. So far, no complete solution has been found for integrating IP multicast into the DMM domain. In one recent research, some use cases for multicast support in the DMM environment showed some problems such as traffic duplication and non-optimal routing. In this paper, we propose a new scheme to support the multicast listener in the DMM domain, which overcomes the above mentioned problems. Our scheme uses a direct routing concept that makes use of the current multicast infrastructure. Each access router in our scheme has both mobility management and MLD proxy functions. Numerical analysis shows that our proposal improves the other schemes in terms of packet loss rate.
