Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an overlay network multicast protocol technology. The invention belongs to the technology in the field of computer communication. Background technique
[0002] As a revolutionary technology in the history of IP network development, IP multicast has been more than 20 years since it was first proposed, but multicast is still not widely used. There are many reasons for this, the main reason is that ① IP multicast uses UDP protocol, which cannot provide effective congestion control and reliability guarantee; ② IP multicast requires the router of any node on the network to provide multicast support, so there is Difficulties in deployment; ③The tracking, management and billing of multicast members are difficult to realize, which leads to the unwillingness of network operators to provide IP multicast services. Therefore, how to apply multicast technology to the existing network to make it highly scalable and deployable becomes the k...
