Abstract :
Multicast routing can be an effective tool to manage the network resources. In this paper, we propose a multipath multicast routing algorithm (MRPM) and a method to choose a next hop when multiple equal cost next hops are given. Simulation results show it is quick distributed dynamic algorithm and can manage network resources efficiently.
