Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of multicast communication, in particular to an Overlay multicast tree reconstruction method, a multicast tree node and a system. Background technique
[0002] Multicast communication refers to the communication mechanism that sends data from one source node to multiple destination nodes. It is the basic communication of many new network applications (such as video conferencing, online live broadcast, distance education, network multimedia advertisement and other real-time streaming media systems) Serve. IP multicast is a traditional multicast method. Efficiency is the biggest advantage of IP multicast. However, if IP multicast networks are to be widely deployed on the Internet, special multicast routers are required to support them. Therefore, the researchers proposed overlapping / covering / application layer multicast (Overlay multicast) to replace IP multicast. The basic idea of ββthis technology is that it does not ...
