Abstract

Increasing multimedia applications such as teleconferencing and video-on-demand require the Internet to effectively provide high-performance multicast support. Following the end-to-end argument, overlay networks have been designed and employed to support the ever-growing multicast applications. In overlay networks, the process of packet replication is performed at a dedicated Multicast Service Node (MSN). Therefore, it is critical to design the architecture of MSN in general, and the queuing and scheduling on MSN in particular, to provide efficient multicast support. We have designed a high-performance queuing scheme for MSNs to support both unicast and multicast and to achieve high link utilization with a reasonable cost. The approach is to use per-vector queueing on-demand. To verify the design, simulation results were provided and analyzed. The results from this paper can be used as a part of the guidelines for building next generation multicast switches.
