ITU-T X.603 (03/2012) Introduction This Recommendation | International Standard specifies the relayed multicast protocol (RMCP) used for realizing relayed multicast. Relayed multica

19、st, also known as an overlay multicast or an application-layer multicast, is a data- delivery scheme for group communications applications over an IP-based network environment. RMCP employs intermediate multicast agents for relaying application data from one or more senders to many receivers. The de

20、sign of RMCP has been motivated from the following observations: In the marketplace, diverse group applications and services have been provisioned commercially all over the world. Some of the examples include Internet TV, remote education, real-time media streaming applications, live broadcasting of

21、 special events such as the Victorias Secret Fashion Show, stock-tickers, etc. At present, most of the group applications mentioned above use a replicated IP unicast method to realize group services. As a result, those applications have scalability problems due to the limitation in supporting a numb

22、er of simultaneous users. In terms of a business model, it would mean less revenue or profit. IP multicast has been known as an effective transport technology for providing group communication services. Nevertheless, the IP multicast has not been deployed widely over the Internet due to several reas

23、ons, including the following: high deployment cost along with an uncertainty of return-on-investment (ROI) IP multicast alone cannot support all kinds of group applications. Network services such as group file transfer or network games, need a reliable multicast transport mechanism. However, even cu

24、rrent reliable multicast transport mechanisms still have unresolved problems including scalability, flow control, congestion control, etc. Until an appropriate multicast transport mechanism is laid down, group communication applications requiring reliable data transfer will continue to depend on the

25、 server-based replicated unicast method. Although IP multicast is not deployed globally, various local networks have already been equipped with IP multicast capability. For example, Ethernet-based LANs and private networks, such as corporate and campus networks, substantially provide the multicast t

26、ransport capability within their local subnet or administrative domains. Recognizing these observations, there is a crucial need to develop an alternative group delivery scheme. RMCP is one such scheme to realize group delivery over the IP-based network. RMCP utilizes existing unicast, multicast, an

27、d/or multicast tunnelling schemes. In addition, RMCP is designed in separate forms to support any kind of group service type. RMCP is expected to provide a substantial solution for group services over the IP-based network. BS ISO/IEC 16512-1:2016 ISO/IEC 16512-1:2016 (E) Rec. ITU-T X.603 (03/2012) 1

28、 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ITU-T RECOMMENDATION Information technology Relayed multicast protocol: Framework 1 Scope Relayed multicast protocol (RMCP) is a protocol which is used to realize a relayed multicast data transport scheme. Different from the conventional IP multicast, RMCP can configure a rel

29、ayed multicast path that multicast traffic flows by using intermediate end-hosts. RMCP can be applied to the current unicast based IP network where IP multicast is not fully deployed. This Recommendation | International Standard addresses the basic concepts needed to specify RMCP for relayed multica

30、st. It defines the related terminology and proposes a framework for the future development of subsequent protocols. The framework covers network topology including network entities and the relationship among them, service scenarios, basic operations, and message format. 2 Normative references None.

It constructs and manages a relayed multicast network to support the group communication services over the current uni

40、cast-based IP network. After a series of RMCP control connections are established, a multicast data delivery path is constructed by using multiple multicast agents (MAs). Along the delivery path, real-time or reliable data transport channels are inter-connected between upstream and downstream MAs. O

41、nly after the data delivery path and data channel are established, group communication applications can work as in the native IP multicast network. RMCP aims to support various kinds of group-based applications and services. Table 1 categorizes the group communication services with types of communic

42、ations and characteristics of data delivery.

A single SM can handle one or multiple sessions, simultaneously. Since the SM does not participate in data delivery, it has RMCP control module only. Figure 2

ITU-T X.603 (03/2012) The MA, which covers both SMA and RMA, constructs a relayed multicast data delivery path and forwards data along the constructed path from SMA to RMA(s). An MA consists of an RMCP control module a

48、nd a data module. The main function of the control module is to establish a relayed data delivery path, and the data module is to deliver data along the constructed delivery path.

It performs the following functions: a) Session join; b) Session leave; c) Session maintenance; d) Session status report. The message flows among RMCP control modules are shown in Figure 4. As shown in the figure, an MA can be implemented in the same system with the application or in the same local network such as Ethernet-LA
