What is IP-Multicast

Encyclopedia of E-Collaboration

Abstract
This article reviews the most important fact of the ALM and introduces to the emerging area of the multicasting, namely the multicast over ad hoc networks, including geocast. After these a novel concept of modeling relative density of members called bunched mode and a proposed ALM multicast transport protocol called shortest tunnel first (STF) are described. The bunched mode is based on the thematic multicast concept (TMC), which means that it is a typical multicast scenario where there are many interested hosts in certain institutes and these institutes are relatively far from each other. This situation is called bunched mode, in which the members of a multicast group are locally in the dense mode, and globally their situation similar to the sparse mode because these spots are far from each other. This article also presents a simple chatting program called PardedeCAST as the tools of STF and TMC research.
