Bidimensional model based on region priority for application layer multicast

This paper describes a new scalable ALM protocol called BRP, especially designed for scalable network with large receiver sets. The paper focuses on nodes joining and departure procedure, region saturation is defined as the standard for elementary selection, and PRIORITY algorithm for further selection. Detailed mathematical analysis and simulation results are presented to validate the proposed algorithm. The simulation environment is a transit-stub topology generated using the GT-ITM generator. The simulation results prove that BRP has high transmission efficiency, less convergence time and an ideal link stress. The model guarantees its performance in streaming media application.
