Effective Multicast Routing Protocol for Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

Most of the multicast routing protocols depend on creation of multicast tree for the transmission of packet from source to destination, which leads to maintain states of the neighboring node and it incures more cost. Maintaining the states of nodes also increases communication and processing overhead as well as requires more amount of memory. Almost all protocols maintain the path list in their routing table which also increases overhead while routing the packets. In this paper we developed a stateless receiver-based multicast routing protocol that includes a list of the multicast destination members addresses (sinks), added in packet headers, to enable receivers to decide the best way to forward the multicast traffic
