  • Multicast Forwarding Algorithms

    Multicast Forwarding Algorithms

    Multicast algorithms are used to establish paths through the network. These paths allow multicast traffic to effectively reach all group members. Each algorithm should address the following set of requirements: The algorithm must route data only to group members. The algorithm must optimize the path from source to destinations. The algorithm must maintain loop-free routes.…

  • Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP)

    Wireless Datagram Protocol (WDP)

    Wireless Datagram Protocol, also known as WDP, provides a consistent service to the upper layers (security, transaction, and session) of the WAP architecture. It is defined in the OMA WAP-259-WDP-20010614-a specification, and allows applications to operate transparently over different available bearer services. It communicates transparently over the different bearer services supported by multiple network types.…

    Out-of-Band Signaling: Separating Control from Data

    Out-of-band signaling is any transmission technology in which signaling is separate from the data being transmitted. Out-of-band signaling uses one or more channels for transmitting data or voice information and one special out-of-band channel for performing signaling functions such as establishing and terminating the communication link, controlling flow, or transmitting error information.
