            Abstract : 
The paper presents the research results of multicast heuristic algorithms. The paper is an extension of previous publications presented in [14, 15] that discussed small network structures reflecting real Internet topology. It approaches basic methods of generating the Internet topology - Waxman method and the Barabasi-Albert method. A performance study of multicast trees constructed by the algorithms is carried out and analysed, also with the heuristic network generator - Inet.
