Abstract

Multicast and MPLS are two complementary technologies.Merging these two technologies where multicast treesare constructed over MPLS networks will enhance performanceand present an efficient solution for multicast scalabilityand control overhead problems. In this paper1, wepresent a simulator for multicast routing over an MPLS networkwhere we choose PIM-SM (source specific tree) as themulticast routing protocol. A simulator for multicast routingover MPLS network is an original idea since this kind ofsimulator never existed before and it will help researchersto simulate and evaluate their MPLS multicast related techniques.
