Internet communications have traditionally been based on point-to-point connections. This technique is called unicast and allows one sender and one receiver to communicate. The Internet saw the appearance of multicast protocols in the early 90's. Multicast ...
A scalable feedback mechanism to solicit feedback from a potentially very large group of networked nodes is an important building block for many network protocols. Multicast transport protocols use it for negative acknowledgements and for delay and packet ...
Users often wish to communicate anonymously on the Internet, for example in group discussion or instant messaging forums. Existing solutions are vulnerable to misbehaving users, however, who may abuse their anonymity to disrupt communication. Dining Crypto ...
This paper specifies a multicast routing protocol called Distributed Core Multicast (DCM). It is intended for use within a large single Internet domain network with a very large number of small multicast groups. We present how DCM can be used to route pack ...
In this paper we present Scalable Position-Based Multicast (SPBM), a multicast routing protocol for ad-hoc networks. SPBM uses the geographic position of nodes to provide a highly scalable group membership scheme and to forward data packets with a very low ...
We propose a protocol that controls the members of a multicast group that send periodically status reports to all members. The protocol, called Multicast Access Protocol (MAP), limits the number of concurrent multicast reports as the group size becomes lar ...
We present a multicast routing protocol called Distributed Core Multicast (DCM). It is intended for use within a large single Internet domain network with a very large number of multicast groups with a small number of receivers. Such a case occurs, for exa ...
In recent years the ``Internet Multicast Backbone'', or MBone, has risen from a small, research curiosity to a large scale and widely used communications infrastructure. A driving force behind this growth was the development of multipoint audio, video, and ...
We present in this paper a distributed protocol that provides an access control mechanism for IP multicast. The protocol distributes a right to multicast between multicast IP group members in a fair manner. The protocol constructs a control tree that inclu ...
We consider sliding window query execution scheduling in stream processing engines. Sliding windows are an essential building block to limit the query focus at a particular part of the stream, based either on value count or time ranges. These so called sli ...
