A New Fault Tolerance Protocol in Application-Level Multicast Networks


Abstract in English

Application-Level Multicast Networks are easy to deployment, it does not require any change in the network layer, where data is sent to the network via the built-up coverage of the tree using a single-contact transmission of the final contract, who are the hosts are free can join / leave whenever they want it, or even to leave without telling any node so. Causing the separation of the children of the leaved node from the tree, and the request for rejoin, in other words, these nodes will be separated from the overlay tree and cannot get the data even rejoin. This causes the distortion of the constructed tree, and the loss of several packets which can significantly impact the user. One of the key challenges in building a multi-efficiently and effectively overlay multicast protocol is to provide a robust mechanism to overcome the sudden departure of a node from the overlay tree without a significant impact on the performance of the constructed tree. In this research, we propose a new protocol to solve problems presented previously.
