  5. Internet Trends (3) Point to Point Point to Multi-Point Multi-Point to Multi-Point

  6. ADSL Pilot Aachen (1) • ADSL Pilot Aachen • Cooperation: RWTH Aachen, DTAG, NEC • launched in February 1998 • currently 700 residential users • Objectives • Test/ Evaluation ADSL Technology • High speed Internet/ remote LAN access • Analysis of User Behavior

  7. ADSL Pilot Aachen (2) • Experiences: user behavior • ADSL encourages multimedia applications • enables high-quality tele-working • growing demand for multimedia collaborative applications: • audio/video conferencing, distributed games • Delimiter for multimedia group applications: • require efficient PMP communication • lack of IP-Multicast support in access network

  9. Broadband Access Networks • Roll out of ADSL: • bandwidth no longer delimiter • delivery of broadband services to the homes • Success of ADSL networks: • depends on high bandwidth applications • Network infrastructure has to support emerging services • Multicast is essential for these applications • IP-Multicast support is a key requirement for broadband access networks

  11. ADSL Network Scenarios • PPP over ATM over ADSL: • PPP provides Authentication Accounting, Address assignment • ATM provides QoS guarantee • Connection between End-user and NSP: • by ATM PVCs or by ATM SVCs • In near future only PVCs will be available • Goal: Provide IP-Multicast in this scenario • short-term solution based on PVCs

  12. Requirements for IP-Multicast Support over ATM/ADSL • Key aspects: • scalability (# of clients, # of groups) • efficiency of data replication • avoid broadcasting all multicast groups • support for dynamic joining and leaving • accounting facilities • Additional aspects: • QoS • implementation effort • smooth PVC -> SVC migration

  13. Multicast Architectures for ADSL • Multicast Gateway (short-term solution) • Multicast client-server application • access through Unicast tunnels • Multicast over PVC (mid-term solution) • based on MARS/MCS • Multicast in PVC based access networks • MARS/MCS (long-term solution) • IETF proposed standard • good scalability, based on SVCs

  14. Multicast Gateway (1) • Architecture:

  15. Multicast Gateway (2) • Performance Measurements

  16. Multicast Gateway (3) • Advantages • immediate realization • easy implementation • Disadvantages • no real multicast: ADSL client has to install special software • inefficient: replication of packets at application layer (end user space) • not scalable with number of clients

  17. Multicast over PVC (1) • Adress resolution: MARS • Replication/Forwarding: MCS • Two approaches for data forwarding: • Multiple PP PVCs from MCS to each host: • selective sending to hosts joined • replication done at the network level (kernel) • PMP PVC to all hosts of cluster: • broadcast to all hosts, non-selective • efficient: replication done at the ATM level • flooding of users accesses with useless traffic

  19. Performance Comparison • Bandwidth supported without losses for the different Multicast Architectures: • Result: Multicast over PVC more efficient • supports larger number of end users

  20. DFN Project ANETTE • ANETTE : Applications and NEtwork Technology for Teleteaching • joint proposal of the universities of Mannheim, Freiburg, Aachen and NEC • funded by DFN (Germ. Research Network) • project duration: June 1999 - May 2001 • ATM/ADSL Field Trial for advanced Homelearning and Teleteaching scenarios • Testbed for the proposed Multicast Architectures, scalability studies

  24. Summary • Growing demand for multimedia group applications based on point-to-multipoint communication • IP-Multicast support in RBB networks needed • Two step proposal for ATM/ADSL networks: • Multicast Gateway (short term) • Multicast over PVC (mid-term, more efficient) • Evaluation of both architectures in ADSL field trial for Interactive Homelearning scenarios
