“…In Lcast enabled domains, end-hosts request single-sourced multicast content, the way they do with traditional IP multicast, namely, by subscribing to a multicast stream using the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) [40,4]. They learn the channel identifier (S-EID,G), consisting of the multicast source address S-EID and a multicast group address G, used to distinguish between the multiple channels originated by a source, either through configuration or with the help of application-layer protocols.…”

Traditionally, efficient inter-domain data delivery may be implemented either as a network or application layer multicast service. However, while the former has seen little uptake due to prohibitive deployment costs the latter is widely used today, but often without a minimum guaranteed performance. In this paper we present Lcast, a network-layer single-source multicast framework designed to merge the robustness and efficiency of IP multicast with the configurability and low deployment cost of application-layer overlays. The architecture involves no end-host changes and only requires the upgrading of a small set of routers to support the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), an incrementally deployable enhancement to the current global routing infrastructure. Content distribution over the Internet's core is done by means of a router overlay while within domains, end-hosts interface with Lcast using conventional multicast protocols. The overlay's scalability and topological configurability is sustained by logically centralizing group management. We illustrate the versatility of our solution by designing and assessing the scalability and performance of three management strategies for low latency content distribution. Our analysis is based on large scale simulations supported by realistic user behavior and Internet-like network topologies. The results show Lcast's low management overhead and ability to optimize delivery to meet various operational constraints. Notably, we find that it can deliver traffic with latencies close to unicast ones, independent of overlay size.

“…An EID is allocated to a host from an EID-Prefix block associated with the site in which the host is located. An EID can be used by a host to refer to another host, as when it joins an SSM (S-EID,G) route using IGMP version 3 [RFC4604]. LISP uses Provider-Independent (PI) blocks for EIDs; such EIDs MUST NOT be used as LISP RLOCs.…”

“…IGMPv1-v3, MLDv1-v2: These protocols [RFC4604] do not require any changes for LISP-Multicast for two reasons. One is that they are link-local and not used over site boundaries, and the second is that they advertise group addresses that don't need translation.…”
