Design and investigation of scalable multicast recursive protocols for wired and wireless ad hoc networks



The basic idea of DBT [5] was proposed without any actual implementation and simulation
study. In our first part of research a modification was made to the previous proposed protocol
and implemented in addition to comprehensive simulation study.

The remainder of this chapter is organized as follows; Sections 4.3 to 4.5 will explain SReM
protocol and its details while at Section 4.6 the implementation and results will be discussed
in Section 4.7.

4.2.1 Definitions

In this section, definitions of terminologies and messages used in the proposed protocol are
explained. These messages and terminologies will be discussed in details during the
explanation of the proposed protocol in this chapter, which are summarized in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1 Terminologies used in SReM

Terminology

Description

LMR

Local Multicast-enabled Router, a multicast group
member connecting the receivers with multicast
enabled feature.

IMR

Intermediate Multicast-enabled Router, a multicast
enabled router connecting different multicast group
members.

BNR

Branching Node Router, an IMR with the ability to
serve as a branching node in the multicast tree.

MFT

Multicast Forwarding Table, a table maintained by
each BNR to store information about the previous
BNR and next BNRs/LMRs.

DBT

Dynamic Branching node-based Tree, a kind of
tree-based method to form a network dynamically.

The proposed protocol uses a set of messages for constructing and maintaining the multicast
tree. Table 4.2 summarizes these messages used in the proposed protocol.
