Abstract

Internet Protocol (IP) multicast offers a scalable multipoint delivery necessary for multimedia communication on the Internet. Source Specific Multicast has been seen as a scalable solution for the implementation of multicast in networks. Performance analysis of Source Specific Multicast based on various network performance metrics such as bandwidth, delay, jitter and throughput was carried out over IPv6 and IPv4 networks. IPv6 Source Specific Multicast exhibits good performance in terms of throughput than its counterpart IPv4 Source Specific Multicast. After evaluation of this improved streaming technology, it was seen that there is still scope of improvement in IPv6 SSM performance by parameters including bandwidth, delay and jitter.
