Abstract

The phenomenal growths of group communications and QoS-aware applications over the Internet have respectively accelerated the development of two key technologies, namely, multicasting and differentiated services (DiffServ). Although both are complementary technologies, the integration of the two technologies is a non-trivial task due to architectural conflicts between multicasting and DiffServ. We propose an approach for providing multicast support across a DiffServ domain that is scalable in terms of group size, network size, and number of groups. We analyze our approach in a detailed manner for feasibility, adaptiveness, and deployment considerations
