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.read more

An evaluation of the Amoeba group communication system
TL;DR: It is concluded that sequencers-based group protocols achieve high performance (comparable to Amoeba's fast remote procedure call implementation), that the scalability of the authors' sequencer-based protocols is limited by message processing time, and that the flexibility and modularity of user-level implementations of protocols is likely to outweigh the potential performance loss.

Mobility-based multicast routing algorithm for wireless mobile Ad-hoc networks: A learning automata approach
TL;DR: A mobility-based multicast routing algorithm for wireless MANETs wherein the mobility characteristics are stochastic and unknown is proposed, and it is shown that the most stable multicast route is found with a probability as close as to unity by the proper choice of the parameters of the distributed learning automata.

ARIES: a rearrangeable inexpensive edge-based on-line Steiner algorithm
F. Bauer,Anujan Varma +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes and evaluates ARIES, a heuristic for updating multicast trees dynamically in large point-to-point networks and shows that ARIES provides the best balance among competitiveness, computational effort, and changes in the multicast tree after each update.

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.

TL;DR: The basis of this book is the material contained in the first six chapters of the earlier work, The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, and has added material on algorithms for external storage and memory management.
Internet Protocol
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.
