Multi-Objective Optimization in Multicast Flows

Many new multicast applications emerging from the Internet, such as TV over the Internet, Radio over the Internet, Video Streaming multi-point, etc., need the following resource requirements: bandwidth consumption, end-to-end delay, packet loss ratio, etc. It is therefore necessary to formulate a proposal to specify and provide for these kinds of applications the resources necessary for them to function well. In this thesis, we propose a multi-objective traffic engineering scheme using different distribution trees to multicast several flows. In this case, we are using the multipath approach to every egress node to obtain the multitree approach and of this way to create several multicast tree. Moreover, our proposal solves the traffic split ratio for multiple trees. The proposed approach can be applied in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks by allowing explicit routes in multicast events to be established.
