SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Multimedia Multicast on the Internet examines multicast technology and is a key text for undergraduate engineering students and master students in networks and telecoms. However, it is equally useful for a wide range of professionals in this research field. Multicast routing was introduced with the advent of the multipartite applications, for example, videoconferencing on the Internet, and collaborative work such as distributed simulations. It is related to the concept of group communication, a technique introduced for reducing the communication cost. The various problems of multicast routing on.
