A new multicast routing algorithm reducing congestion is presented in this paper. The algorithm uses efficient routing by transmitting multicast packels across fewer links in the network. The algorithm is balancing the use of network nodes and links by reducing packet duplication in the nodes. The computation time of the algorithm is short. The results show that the algorithm can find the multicast paths by using the minimum number of links and reduce congestion. 70 9-8186-7585-3196 $5.00 0 1996 IEEE
