Multicast routing is the problem of finding the spanning tree of a set of destinations whose roots are the source node and its leaves are the set of destination nodes by optimizing a set of quality of service parameters and satisfying a set of transmission constraints. This article proposes a new hybrid multicast algorithm called Hybrid Multi-objective Multicast Algorithm (HMMA) based on the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA) to evaluate and classify the population in dominated solutions and non-dominated solutions. Dominated solutions are evolved by the Bat Algorithm, and non-dominated solutions are evolved by the Firefly Algorithm. Old and weak solutions are replaced by new random solutions by a process of mutation. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to find good Pareto optimal solutions compared to other algorithms.

Through the study of MANET's QoS multicast routing problem, we propose a heuristic-demand multicast routing algorithm. Algorithm combines the MANET network bandwidth estimation algorithm, redefined the select function, restrictions request packets of flooding algorithm, to ensure fair treatment delay and bandwidth. Simulation results show that the algorithm has the advantage of fewer routing overhead, high success rate.

The routing problems can be divided into two major classes. They are 1) Unicast routing and 2) Multicast routing. The Unicast routing problem is as follows. Given a source node sr, a destination node dn, a set of QoS constraints qc and an optimization goal (optional), find the best feasible path from sr to dn, which satisfies qc. The Multicast routing problem is as follows. Given a source node sr, a set st of destination nodes, a set of constraints cts and an optimization goal (optional), find the best feasible path covering sr and all nodes in st, which satisfies cts. This article presents two such Unicast QoS based algorithms called as Source Routing and the proposed Heuristic Routing. A Client Server based model has been generated to study the performance of the two algorithms with respect to the message overhead, response time and path delay. The Experiments and the results are analyzed.

The primary function of a packet radio network is the efficient transfer of information between source and destination nodes using minimal bandwidth and end-to-end delay. Many researchers have investigated the problem of minimizing the end-to-end delay from a single source to a single destination for a variety of networks; however, very little work is reported about routing mechanisms for the common case where a particular information packet is intended to be sent to more than one destination in the network. This is known as multicasting. A simplified version of the problem is to ignore the packet delay at each node, then the problem becomes one of finding solutions which require the least number of transmissions. Determination of an optimal solution is NP-complete meaning that suboptimal solutions are frequently tolerated. The problem becomes more rigorous if packet delays are included in the network topology. This paper describes a practical technique for the computation of optimum or near optimum solutions to the multicasting problem with and without packet delay. The method is based on the Hopfield neural network and experiment has shown this method to yield near optimal solutions while requiring a minimum of CPU time.

Multicast is a technique for one-to-many communication over the network. It plays important role in cloud computing and reduces the transmission overhead in the private cloud environment. In this paper, build an efficient multicast tree for the multicast routing problem in which a network consists of different categories of nodes, where each category can have one or more nodes of the same characteristic which is different from the characteristics of nodes from other categories. So it is used to reduce the message traffic in such a network, to build a multicast tree and minimize the queuing delay using multicast selection algorithm.

Quality of service (QoS) generally assumes more than one QoS measure which implies that routing can be categorized as an instance of routing subject to multiple constraints: such as cost, delay, bandwidth, etc. The problem of constructing multicast trees is studied to meet the QoS requirements where it is necessary to provide bounded constraints among the source and all destinations while keeping the cost of the multicast tree low. So, a kind of source-destination QoS multicast routing problem is addressed about communication networks. The algorithm we presented takes bandwidth, delay and loss rate as premise, constructs routing selected function based on shortest path, modifies selected path according to the function above so as to fit multi-QoS parameters. Simulation results show that the algorithm has both lower delay and better performance and can be extended to cases of multiple QoS parameters conveniently.
