RSS multicastMulticast for Mobile Networks
White Paper Videoconferencing, e-learning, software distribution - these are all applications that can benefit from multicast, the bandwidth-conserving technology that allows a host to send packets to a subset of all hosts as a group transmission. [21 Feb 2007]
Multicast With Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) Configuration Example
White Paper This paper provides a configuration example on how to configure Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) and Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) for multicasting and communication with a multicast enabled wired network. [11 Jan 2008]
Multicast Routing Simulator Over MPLS Networks
White Paper Multicast and MPLS are two complementary technologies. Merging these two technologies where multicast trees are constructed over MPLS networks will enhance performance and present an efficient solution for multicast scalability and control overhead... [05 Jul 2008]
Multicast in a Campus Network: CGMP and IGMP Snooping
White Paper The purpose of Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP) and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping is to restrain multicast traffic in a switched network. By default, a LAN switch floods multicast traffic within the broadcast domain and... [22 Feb 2007]
Multicast Routing
White Paper In order to support these applications it will be necessary to build networks that can implement multicast efficiently. New computer networking applications continue to create the need for new communication protocols. [24 Feb 2004]
Multicast Deployment Made Easy
White Paper Multicast Made Easy is a comprehensive workbook and step-by-step planning guide for deploying IP multicast. This guide will ease your deployment of IP multicast and assist you with purchasing decisions. [24 Feb 2004]
Multicast Virtual Private Networks Concepts
White Paper The purpose of this paper is to provide an understanding and background to IP Multicast in relation to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and to describe in detail the Cisco architecture for a Multicast VPN solution. [24 Feb 2004]
Multicast on MCI Private IP
White Paper Most customer equipment supports IP multicast, but, because of unfamiliarity with this protocol on the part of IT managers, few Private IP customers take advantage of this efficient way of distributing a wide variety of data and multimedia... [25 Oct 2005]
Multicast - History, IPP's and the Future
White Paper Multicast - With a multicast design, applications can send one copy each packet and address it to the group of computers that want to receive it. This paper discusses in detail about the Multicast technology. [01 Mar 2004]
Internet Protocol (IP) Multicast: Technology Overview
White Paper IP Multicast is a bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces traffic by simultaneously delivering a single stream of information to thousands of corporate recipients and homes. Applications that take advantage of multicast include video... [24 Feb 2004]
Multicast With Mobile Hosts: Analysis and Performance Evaluation
White Paper This paper describes a solution that allows a mobile node to receive and send multicast data via its Mobile IPv6 home agent. It is clear that mobile users want to have access to such kind of multicast services. [13 Mar 2005]
Multicast in 802.11 WLANs: An Experimental Study
White Paper While the deployment of WiFi networks continues to grow at an explosive rate, the multicast multimedia delivery service on WiFi compliant devices is still in its early stage of development. The real culprit is the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol, and in... [19 Dec 2007]
Multicast Gateway for Service Location in Heterogeneous Ad Hoc Communication
White Paper Multicast is used extensively by many service discovery protocols, but it is particularly expensive in ad hoc networks. It is also often difficult to interface different multicast protocols used in different types of networks. [05 Apr 2006]
Multicast Routing and Bandwidth Dimensioning in Overlay Networks
White Paper Multicast services can be provided either as a basic network service or as an application-layer service. Higher level multicast implementations often provide more sophisticated features, and can provide multicast services at places where no network... [11 Jul 2008]
Multicast Routing, Load Balancing, and Wavelength Assignment on Tree of Rings
White Paper There are two steps to establish a multicast connection in WDM networks: routing and wavelength assignment. Shortest path tree (SPT) and Minimum spanning tree (MST) are the two widely used multicast routing methods. [10 Jul 2008]
