Multicast protocols ore developed in order to support group communications efficiently, However. there still exist some issues to be solved for deploy multicast protocol in the public internet. This paper refers problem of existing Reliable Multicast Protocols and redesigns component function, and proposes enhanced reliable multicast transport protocol, This paper proposed a improved multicast transport scheme in NACK based reliable multicast. This scheme is much faster than by sender-initiated or receiver-initiated recovery and latency is smaller. Designed components are implemented in UNIX environment using C programming longuage. Then the protocol was evaluated performance through simulation. As the result, proposed protocol is better than existing protocols in both of transmission delay and packet loss. Especially, proposed protocol in this paper con be used in multicast services needed high reliability.

A lot of institutes have proposed RMT (Reliable Multicast Transport) techniques over IP multicast environment which provides only best-effort services. The ECTP (Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol) is a kind of RMT technique and an international standard of ITU-T and JTC1/SC6. It is a protocol that provides reliability fer IP multicast environment. In this paper, we tested ECTP applications which are MFTP (Multicast file transport protocol) and WB (white Board) on the APAN (Asia-Pacific Advanced Network) with the Kyushu University in Japan. We measured ECTP traffic using a packet capture tool that programmed by Pcap library that is developed in Lawrence Berkeley institute. In according to the result, we think that ECTP is an efficient protocol in transporting files to many receivers simultaneously.

This paper proposes a protocol for the reliableand QoS-aware multicast transport, which is called the Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol (ECTP). The ECTP has so far been developed and standardized in ITU-T SG17 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6. Differently from the conventional reliable multicast, as shownin the IETF RMT WG, the ECTP additionally provides several distinct features such as tight control of multicast session, tree-based error control, and QoS management. For the tight control of multicast connections, the sender is at the heart of one-to-many group communications, and it is responsible for overall connection management such as connection creation/termination, pause/resumption, and the join and leave operations. for tree-based reliability control, ECTP configures a hierarchical tree during connection creation. Error control is performed within each local group defined by a control tree, which was partly designed like the IETF TRACK approach. Each parent retransmits lost data in response to retransmission requests from its children. For QoS management, ECTP supports QoS negotiation for resource reservation, and it also provides QoS monitoring and maintenance operations. ECTP has been implemented and tested on Linux machine, along with Application Programming Interfaces based on Berkeley sockets. For basic testing of the ECTP functionality, we give some preliminary experimental results for performance comparison of ECTP and TCP unicast transports. In conclusion, we describe the status of ECTP experimentations over APAN/KOREN testbed networks

ALC(Asyncronous Layered Coding)는 LCT(Layered Coding Transport)기반의 폭넓은 확장성과 다양한 전송속도로 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트 전송을 주 목적으로 한다. ALC는 다른 RMT 프로토콜과는 달리 재전송을 하지 않고 receiver-driven 형태의 혼잡제어를 하기 때문에 신뢰성을 제공하기 위해 FEC(Forward Error Correction) 스킴를 이용한다. 본 논문은 신뢰적인 멀티캐스트 전송 프로토콜을 위해 ALC와 FEC 스킴 중 하나인 LDPC 코드를 이용하여 구현한다. 인코딩 비율(Encoding ratio)에 따라 일정 수준 이상의 복구 성공 확율에 대해 최대 허용 가능한 패킷 손실률을 측정하여 신뢰치를 측정한다. 마지막으로 일대다의 파일 전송 시, TCP와 비교하여 본 구현물의 유연성과 효율성에 대해 분석 및 평가한다.
