Multicast routing in datagram internetworks and extended LANs

TLDR
In this paper, the authors specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms (distancevector routing and link-state routing) to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN, and discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.
Abstract
Multicasting, the transmission of a packet to a group of hosts, is an important service for improving the efficiency and robustness of distributed systems and applications. Although multicast capability is available and widely used in local area networks, when those LANs are interconnected by store-and-forward routers, the multicast service is usually not offered across the resulting internetwork. To address this limitation, we specify extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms—distance-vector routing and link-state routing—to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN. We also describe modifications to the single-spanning-tree routing algorithm commonly used by link-layer bridges, to reduce the costs of multicasting in large extended LANs. Finally, we discuss how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks.

A distributed delay-constrained dynamic multicast routing algorithm

TL;DR: This paper proposes a distributed delay-constrained dynamic multicast routing algorithm (DCDMR) to support these applications that involve dynamic multiple participants, have stringent end-to-end delay requirement and consume large amount of network resources.

An Object-Oriented Framework for Developing Network Server Daemons

TL;DR: The Service Configurator (SVC-CON) framework provides an object-oriented infrastructure that simplifies the development of dynamically configured, concurrent, multi-service network daemons.

Performance Analysis of Network-Coding-Based P2P Live Streaming Systems

TL;DR: A unique stochastic model is developed to reveal how segments of the video stream evolve over their lifetime in the buffer before they go into playback and in-depth insights into how system parameters and segment selection strategies affect the performance of the system have been obtained.

Why We Shouldn't Forget Multicast in Name-oriented Publish/Subscribe

TL;DR: It is argued that an inclusion of multicast will grant additional benefits to the network layer, namely efficient distribution of real-time data, a many-to-many communication model, and simplified rendezvous processes.

Dynamic Programming

TL;DR: The more the authors study the information processing aspects of the mind, the more perplexed and impressed they become, and it will be a very long time before they understand these processes sufficiently to reproduce them.

Internet Protocol

J. Postel
TL;DR: Along with TCP, IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols and has two primary responsibilities: providing connectionless, best-effort delivery of datagrams through an internetwork; and providing fragmentation and reassembly of data links to support data links with different maximum transmission unit (MTU) sizes.
