Abstract

Multicast provides an efficient way of distributing multimedia information to a set of destinations simultaneously with the highest possible data rate. To enhance the multicasting performance, an adaptive multicast routing (AMR) approach for the satellite-terrestrial network (a hybrid network interconnected by VSAT systems) is proposed. It can dynamically adjust the routing path to obtain a minimal routing cost through a re-routing operation and support dynamic membership, joining and leaving. The simulation results demonstrate that the AMR has better performance and lower routing costs than any other Internet multicast algorithm
