Multi-Objective Optimization in Multicast Flows

Many new multicast applications emerging from theInternet such as TV over theInternet Radio over the Internet Video Streamingmulti-point etc. need the followingresource requirements: bandwidth consumptionend-to-end delay packet loss ratioetc. It is therefore necessary to formulate aproposal to specify and provide for thesekinds of applications the resources necessary forthem to function well.In this thesis we propose a multi-objective trafficengineering scheme using differentdistribution trees to multicast several flows. Inthis case we are using the multipathapproach to every egress node to obtain the multitreeapproach and of this way tocreate several multicast tree. Moreover our proposalsolves the traffic split ratio formultiple trees. The proposed approach can be appliedin Multiprotocol Label Switching(MPLS) networks by allowing explicit routes inmulticast events to be established.
