CALL FOR PAPERS:
Special Issue of Computer Communications on
Integrating Multicast into the Internet

TOPICS:
The amount of bandwidth available in the Internet is increasing
dramatically, both in the backbone networks, as well as in the last mile
(broadband access). One consequence is that the delivery of high-quality
multimedia data will become feasible, and multimedia data, including audio
and video, will become the dominant traffic. As more users gain access to
broadband services, new applications and services will become possible. The
result will be a growing demand for large-scale multimedia applications and
services.
Multicasting as a pure networking solution to the transport of media is
recognized as offering economies-of-scale for large-scale applications.
Multicast is also believed to enable applications which provide service to
thousands, even millions of customers. While there has been significant
research work on multicast, efforts to successfully deploy a production
service have lagged. Reasons range from frequently changing protocols,
management and engineering problems, legacy hardware limitations, traffic
conflicts with unicast, etc.. This special issue focuses on research issues
dealing with the challenges of deploying multicast in the network. Specific
topics include, but are not limited to:
* Multicast Congestion Control
* Multicast Overlay Networks
* Next-Generation Multicast Routing Algorithms
* Multicast Media Transport
* Security for Multicast-Based Services
* Multicast Traffic Engineering and Management
* Multicast Pricing and Quality of Service
