Abstract

In this paper, a min-max hop-count based self-discovering method of a Bootstrap Router (BSR) for the bootstrap mechanism in multicast routing is proposed and its performance is evaluated. The key for the proposed method is that the BSR is selected as to become a position such as almost equal distances from the other routers by the min-max hop-count way. Especially, the proposed method can reduce the processing time efficiently to discover a Rendezvous Point which plays a central role of the data transmission. Simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce the processing time by average more than 43% compared with that of the conventional one.
