Some of the main reasons which prevents the deployment of IP multicast are forwarding state scalability and control explosion problems. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Q-STA (QoS Scalable Tree Aggregation) which reduces the number of forwarding states by allowing several groups to share the same tree. Q-STA accepts groups only if there is enough available bandwidth. Q-STA accepts much more groups and performs faster aggregations than previous algorithms.
