A Comprehensive Study of Multicast based Routing Protocols in Wired Networks(LAN)

Abstract: As network grows in size and complexity, network management has become an increasingly challenging task in multicast routing. “Routing is acts moving information across an interconnected LAN from Source to a destination”. Probability that a LAN groups consists of a large number of nodes and likelihood of an interest in connection to other groups with similar interest, the management of the routes between different routing protocols could be quit complex. Routing of data in a LAN is a challenging task due to the changing topology of such a network. In this paper we analyze different Multicast Routing Protocols and their strategies on the basis of type and sub type and implemented model. Multicast routing is a group oriented communication whose objective is to support the propagation of data from a sender to all the receivers of a multicast group while trying to use the available bandwidth efficiently, it also reduces the communication cost and saves the network resources. We proposed, multicast routing protocols in wired networks that was proposed in recent years has been covered and made a comprehensive study on existing multicast routing protocols
