Efficient control and management for multicast services in the internet

In recent years, emerging multicast applications involving data delivery from a single source to a large number of destinations, has imposed a lot of challenges on the existing Internet infrastructure as they usually require certain quality of service (QoS), transmission efficiency, scalability, sec...
