Systems and Methods for Improving Multicast Communications

摘要

Systems and methods for improving multicast communications for media services in a network are provided. In this regard, a representative method, among others, includes receiving information related to consumers and at least one routing algorithm associated with the network; generating a multi-hop packet propagation tree based on the receive information related to the consumers and the at least one routing algorithm; receiving a data packet related to the network media services; and encoding the data packet with the multi-hop packet propagation tree.
