Researchers have proposed the Core Based Trees (CBT) and Protocol Independent Multicasting (PIM) protocols to route multicast data on internetworks. In this paper, we compare the simulated performance of CBT and PIM using the OPNET network simulation tool. Performance metrics include end-to-end delay, network resource usage, join time, the size of the tables containing multicast routing information, and the impact of the timers introduced by the protocols. We also offer suggestions to improve PIM Sparse Mode while retaining the ability to offer both shared tree and source-based tree routing.

This paper presents an adaptive routing algorithm for a mid-course, space-based SDI architecture.The goals include rapid recovery from both predictable and unpredictable outages as well as load balancing. Robust operation is critical. The routing table update algorithm is distributed, and it produces loop-free routes from periodic topology update information. In addition, multiple routes are found from source to destination nodes. This allows load splitting among these routes to achieve more effective load balancing. A heuristic is used to distribute the load among these routes. The basic algorithm also provides a mechanism to provide path diversity for added survivability. Recovery from failures detected locally occurs immediately through the use of alternate routes and an event-driven failure recovery algorithm. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the algorithm behavior.
