Abstract

In networking research, the simulation is often the single way to overcome the lack of equipment needed for laboratory setup of complex experimental topologies, with diverse traffic pattern scenarios. Even for simpler topologies and traffic scenarios, the simulation remains attractive due to the available facilities on data collection, graphics generation and step by step analysis of different protocol machines.

Inter-domain multicast scenarios, where heterogeneous QoS requirements should be considered, is a particular example where both complexity and resources availability justify the use of simulation.

This paper reports the experience gained by the usage of simulation tools in multicast routing with QoS. It is not focused on the real simulation results reported but on the process used to obtain them. NS-2 has been used as the base of this work.

QoS-aware multicast routing for the internet: the design and evaluation of QoSMIC

One of the main problems of the current Internet infrastructure is its inability to provide services at consistent quality-of-service (QoS) levels. At the same time, many emerging Internet applications, such as teleeducation, and teleconferencing, ...
A multi-path QoS multicast routing protocol with slot assignment for mobile ad hoc networks

Mobile multimedia applications have recently generated much interest in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) supporting quality-of-service (QoS) communications. Due to the limited bandwidth of a wireless node, a QoS multicast routing is often blocked if ...
Domain Constrained Multicast: A New Approach for IP Multicast Routing

One of major reasons why IP multicast has not been well deployed is the complexity of IP multicast routing. Since existing IP multicast routing protocols have been designed independently of IP unicast routing protocols, a router must maintain routing ...
