Summary :

In this paper, we examine the efficiency of tunneling techniques since they will accelerate multicast deployment. Our motivation is that, despite the many proposals focused on tunneling techniques, their impact on multicast efficiency has yet to be assessed sufficiently. First, the structure of multicast delivery trees is examined based on the seminal work of Phillips et al. [26]. We then quantitatively assess the impact of tunneling, such as loads imposed on the tunnel endpoints and redundant traffic. We also formulate a critical size of multicast island, above which the loads are suddenly diminished. Finally, a unique delivery tree model is introduced, which is so simple yet practical, to better understand the performance of the multicast-related protocols. This paper is the first to formulate the impact of tunneling.
