Title
A centralized generic protocol for multipoint connections
Abstract
A centralized protocol, C-GMC, is proposed for the construction and maintenance of multipoint connections (MCs). The operation of the protocol is independent of the MC topology algorithm, which is rendered a “plug-in” module. The C-GMC protocol is targeted at networks based on link state routing and uses the concept of a per-MC server. The problems of server election and migration are modeled as consensus problems in distributed systems, and an efficient solution is proposed. Results of a simulation study show that the C-GMC protocol is able to efficiently handle worst case workloads generated by multiparty communication sessions with thousands of participants
