文摘Using application level multicast can partly pad the lack of IP multicast deployment. To perform single-source applications in hierarchical topology, we propose an application level multicast approach, Hierarchical Topology Aware Grouping (HTAG), which exploits information about path overlap among members and topological hierarchy to construct overlay tree at different network layers.
