| Abstract | CBT is a new architecture for local and wide-area IP multicasting, being unique in its utilization of just one shared delivery tree, as opposed to the source-based delivery tree approach of existing IP multicast schemes, such as DVMRP [6] and MOSPF [15]. The primary advantages of the CBT approach are that it offers more favourable scaling characteristics in certain situations than do existing multicast algorithms, and is independent of whichever underlying unicast routing protocol is operating. This draft describes the CBT protocol in detail, as well as the CBT architecture. The definition of a new network layer multicast protocol has also meant that it has been possible to integrate an enriched functionality into multicast that is not possible under other IP multicast schemes. For example, CBT offers a potential solution to "anycasting" [14], and it has been possible to integrate security features into the CBT protocol. Besides CBT's capability to authenticate tree-joining host's and ... |
