Synopsis

With Multicasting, it's possible to send data, video and audio to many requesting clients at once, across the Internet or any other IP network. Multicasting is at the heart of a new generation of Web applications, from real-time stock updates to software distribution. This is the first book that closely examines the protocols which make Multicasting possible -- and the thorny routing issues that arise in enterprise Multicasting.KEY TOPICS:Understand the rationale for Multicast and the fundamentals of IP technology, including the "host group" model and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Learn how to implement Multicast routing today, and the role of techniques such as Reverse-Path Multicasting, Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol, Protocol-Independent Multicast -- Dense Mode, and Multicast Extensions to OSPF. Then learn how multicast is evolving. Preview Core Based Trees, and Protocol-Independent Multicast -- Sparse Mode. Understand how MBone fits -- and where it's headed. Finally, watch IP Multicast at work in state-of-the-art case studies, including InteropNet and the Georgia Tech campus network.MARKET:For all network engineers and managers developing Internet-based multicasting (and "push") applications.

IP Multicast: Get ready for the future of Enterprise broadcasting!

With multicasting, it's possible to send data, video, and audio to many requesting clients simultaneously, across the Internet or any other IP-based network. Multicasting is an essential building block for a new generation of applications, such as leading-edge "push" applications (including news and sports updates, real-time stock quotes, and others),software distribution, and certain multimedia applications.

In this book, Thomas A. Maufer-co-author of the "Introduction to IP Multicast Routing" Request for Comments (RFC)-closely examines the protocols which make multicasting possible - and the challenging routing issues that arise in enterprise Multicasting. Maufer explains the rationale for multicast, describes important classes of multicast-enabled applications, and the essentials of multicast IP technology, including the "host group" model and the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP).

Ensure successful deployment of a multicast infrastructure over your existing networks by understanding how multicast routing protocols work.Protocols such as the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol, Multicast Extensions to OSPF, Protocol-Independent Multicast - Dense Mode are discussed, along with the exciting new Protocol-Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode, and Core Based Trees protocols.

Multicast-based transport protocols are discussed, including the Realtime Transport Protocol (RTP), and so-called "reliable" multicast transport protocols are examined. Finally, watch IP Multicast at work in two leading-edge deployments: Networld+Interop's InteropNet, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Understand IP Multicast now -- and deploy it tomorrow.

• Practical deployment considerations for enterprise intranets
• Current and future intranet multicast routing protocols
• Current and emerging applications: Conferencing, whiteboards, news updates, live or pre-recorded media streaming events, software distribution, reliable multicast transport protocols, the Service Location Protocol, etc.
• Multicast routing interoperability frameworks, "reliable" multicast transport protocols, the Realtime Transport Protocol, and more
• The history and possible future evolution of the Internet's Mbone
• For all network engineers and managers developing multicast-enabled applications for use on the Internet or intranet

Présentation de l'éditeur

IP Multicast is the underlying technology which will make all "push" applications possible on the web. This is a guide for network managers on how to deploy IP multicast technology in medium to large size companies. A major portion of the book will be devoted to multicast routing protocols. Will cover latest developments of the IP Multicast Initiative started in December 1996. Author is Technical Strategist at 3COM and active in Internet Engineering Task Force activities regarding the IP Multicast standard.
