A Linux-Based Testbed for Multicast Sessions Set-Up in Diff-Serv Networks

摘要

In this work, we describe the implementation of an architecture to perform admission control and traffic management for multicast sessions in Diff-Serv networks. The Bandwidth Broker functionalities are carried out by the Call Admission Multicast Protocol (CAMP). CAMP performs the set-up of a multicast RTP session. It supports dynamic changes in the group membership. The implementation has been performed in a testbed network based on the Linux platform; we discuss the measurement results obtained by performing experiments with the testbed.
