Abstract

In this paper, we present the MCEDAR (multicast core extraction distributed ad hoc routing) multicast routing algorithm for ad hoc networks. MCEDAR is an extension to the CEDAR architecture and provides the robustness of mesh based routing protocols and the approximates the efficiency of tree based forwarding protocols. It decouples the control infrastructure from the actual data forwarding infrastructure. The decoupling allows for a very minimalistic and low overhead control infrastructure while still enabling very efficient data forwarding
