Neighbor Gradient-based Multicast Routing for Service-Oriented Applications

“…The residual link capacity will be updated if it is beyond a certain threshold during the routing process. For instance, if the residual link capacity exceeds the threshold, the new residual link capacity ( 1) uv lt   will be recomputed and sent to the related nodes. Then the neighbor gradient will be calculated again based on the new residual link capacity.…”

“…With the development of Internet, more and more service-oriented applications have been emerging in the recent years. Such applications include IP Television (IPTV), network games, live video-teleconferences, stock exchange, etc [1]. These diverse applications involve a source sending packets to a selected set of destinations.…”
