Abstract

The mathematical framework for member reliability of Multicasting in BitTorrent Enabled Ad Hoc Network (MBEAN) routing protocol is reported in this paper. Analytical expressions for packet delivery ratio and bounds for routing and control overhead are also derived. Simulations conducted demonstrate that MBEAN achieves higher member-to-member connectivity, and therefore, higher member reliability compared to other multicast routing protocols such as Multicasting in Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (MAODV) routing protocol and Protocol for Unified Multicasting through Announcements (PUMA). MBEAN also shows improved packet delivery ratio with reduced overall overhead compared to MAODV and PUMA.
