Abstract
We implemented a working IP multicast forwarding prototype for use in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) based upon flooding mechanisms. We present the design of a working experimental prototype and some initial performance results using the NRL mobile network emulation system and various optional flooding approaches within the design framework. In addition, we present supplemental analytical examination of several implemented flooding algorithms for MANET environments and discuss related performance tradeoffs. We conclude by presenting further technical considerations and future work issues.
