Multimedia applications or real-time applications such as
audio and video on demand, teleconferencing and whiteboard sharing
require Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee assurance. QoS constraints,
namely required bandwidth, end-to-end delay and delay jitter are the
major parameters that need to be satisfied in order to have quality assurance
in a dynamic multicast network.
In this paper we investigate the effect of the QoS constraints on multicast
network applications and services during the processes of routing.
Lastly, we propose linear routing tree algorithms for required bandwidth,
end-to-end delay and delay jitter.
