Integration and simplification of QoS guarantee and multicasting for a New-Generation network

Abstract

In this paper, we clarify problems related to QoS guarantee and multicasting on the Internet, and suggest principles of solving the problems and implementing QoS guarantee and multicasting at the same time by means of integrating multicasting and QoS guarantee for a New-Generation Network (NwGN). These principles also simplify QoS/multicast routing protocols.
