Abstract

Bloom filter based forwarding was proposed recently in several protocol alternatives to IP multicast. Even though some of these protocols avoid the state in intermediate routers, they still have scalability limitations and require explicit network management as well as non-trivial functionality from the network components. In this work we propose an architecture based on in-packet Bloom filter forwarding, in which the burden of scalability management is left to the multicast source and end-hosts. We present several algorithms to improve the scalability of multicast transmission and evaluate them in a real Internet topology. Our evaluation confirms the ability of the proposed stateless design to save up to 70% of traffic volume in the large scale topology for big groups of subscribers, and up to 30% for small groups.
