| Abstract | From a technology perspective, the Internet performs a gigantic role in communication, compelling the internet protocol (IP) to be famous. Approaching of modem application requires Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee with multicasting support being unavailable in the legacy network. Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), providing traffic engineering and QoS capability support in IP network, and Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), using two modes of multicast transmission to adapt with network requirement, are the leader in their firm. Combining these two technologies is presenting an opportunity for service provider to distribute new services from their contemporary network. This thesis work is focusing on the fabrication of multicasting support framework using PIMSM in MPLS domain. The simulation method is used to investigate the framework and illustrates its performance competence. By the result, Shortest-Path Tree (SPT) multicast transmission offers the best performance, trading-off with the size of state database in each router. RP-rooted shared Tree (RPT) multicast achieves the suitable performance in the case that state database size need to be concerned. Furthermore, bandwidth sharing problem can be eliminated using Connection-Oriented with QoS guarantee in MPLS network for the premium services. |
