A New Delay-Constrained Multicast Routing Algorithm Based on Shared Edges

Abstract

In this paper, we made a detail analysis for the ESAMPH algorithm, and proposed ESAMPH_D algorithm according to the insufficient of ESAMPH algorithm. The ESAMPH_D algorithm does not consider those paths that do not satisfy the delay constraint, so we can ensure that all paths be taken into account will meet the limit of delay constraint, then we find the least costly path in order to build a minimum cost multicast tree. Simulation results show that the algorithm is better than ESAMPH algorithm in performance.
