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 reliable and scalable overlay multicast architecture for large-scale video surveillance applications

TL;DR: Results show that comparing with existing streaming delivery mode in surveillance systems, RSOMA is able to provide efficient resource share with less control overhead, especially for large-scale video surveillance applications and alleviates the stress around streaming servers and provides scalability.

Communication Channels for Data Multicasting in Multi-service Networks

TL;DR: The paper generalizes the abstraction of tree structured communication channels used in wide-area data multicasting by introducing the notions of acyclic graph structured channel to provide connectivity among user entities in an application through network nodes and links, and user specifiable attributes of data flow through a channel, namely, data directionality and data transfer rates.

EMMR: A Multicast Protocol for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

TL;DR: A new multicast protocol for Mobile Ad hoc networks, called Efficient Mobile Multicast Routing (EMMR) is proposed, designed with the intention of reducing unnecessary traffic to non-interested nodes in MANET multicast operations.

Reliability and scaling issues in multicast communication

TL;DR: In this paper, the efficiency of multicast communication is largely determined by the network level support available for such communication, and two factors contribute to the complexity of the multicast communications.

Distributed system infrastructure for a prolific manufacturing enterprise

TL;DR: A more comprehensive distributed system infrastructure that also supports change and evolution in the structure of information that is based on 'proxies' which are used as the lowest level distributed system building blocks to represent all aspects of the enterprise-including machines, programs, and people.

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.
