发明名称 Multicast support by mobile routers in a mobile ad hoc network
摘要 In one embodiment, a mobile router receives a multicast-supported router advertisement message from an attachment mobile router in a mobile ad hoc network, the multicast-supported router advertisement message specifying an attachment prefix and a multicast-capable identifier. The mobile router attaches to the attachment mobile router in response to the multicast-supported router advertisement message and according to a protocol requiring establishment in the mobile ad hoc network of a tree topology having a single multicast clusterhead, and selects a default attachment address within an address space of the attachment prefix. The mobile router receives a multicast request, from an attached node, for receiving a multicast stream, and the mobile router outputs a neighbor advertisement message with multicast extension, to the attachment router, that specifies that access to the multicast stream is requested via the default attachment address.
