Summary: | 碩士 === 國立台灣工業技術學院 === 管理技術研究所 === 85 === With increasing demand for multicast multimedia communications,
future networks are expected to provide an integrated service
for transporting data packets with QoS guaranteed over current
Internet infrastructure. Resource reservation schemes seem the
most effective over the various methods proposed within ISPN
(Integrated Services Packet Network). But the result of QoS
negotiation and resource reservation during connection
establishment may not remain ideal throughout the duration of a
communication session. There are three reasons for this. First,
user's QoS requirement can be very flexible and easily changed.
Second, the nature of real time application has a decisive
influence on the required network resources and different real-
time applications have quite different communication needs.
Third, due to a continuously changing networking environment,
network load may change significantly over the duration of the
connection. In this thesis, we propose a framework for the
networks to continuously monitor the actual resources usage and
then employ correction mechanisms to dynamically change the
resource allocation among users. It also allows the end systems
to adjust their resource reservation according to the network
resource availability and their requirements. Furthermore, we
also revise the current multicast routing protocol to reduce the
resource reservation failure rate. Our multicast routing
algorithm attempts to find a multicast distribution tree with
QoS constraints. The multicast paths will be shared by as many
receivers as possible. It can remedy two problems caused by
current design of RSVP. One is the avoidance of choosing those
data paths whose available resource is insufficient. The other
is to solve the heterogeneity problem caused by different
network elements. Keywords: Multicast Routing, Dynamic QoS,
Resource Reservation, RSVP (resource ReSerVation Protocol), OPWA
