A distributed multicast routing algorithm for real-time applications in wide area networks

In this paper we propose a delay-constrained distributed multicast routing algorithm based on token passing. This, algorithm is fully distributed and generates a multicast routing tree, which not only meets the realtime requirement, but also has a sub-optimal network cost. Simulations have been done and the results have shown that the multicast routing tree generated by our algorithm has better performance than previously known results.
