Abstract :
This paper proposes an enhanced ad-hoc multicast routing protocol, which is based on ODMRP (On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol). We use active probing to enhance the end-to-end routing availability and improve the utilization of link bandwidth. The probing interval is shorter than ODMRP and the reaction to path failure is more flexible. In addition, the probing information also provides the end to end status of the link. Therefore, the overall information can be used by the routing process.
