Application level multicast routing algorithm based on poly-clonal strategies
基于多克隆策略的应用层组播路由算法

Application level multicast is a hot issue in current network study. Its multicast tree is constructed on the virtual completely-connected overlay network. The characteristic of an application level multicast routing model was analyzed in this paper. A new application level muhicast routing algorithm with degree and average delay constrains was proposed based on poly-elonal strategies. Simulations show that compared with those based on genetic algorithm, the application level multicast routing based on poly-clonal strategies has faster converging speed and better ability of global searching. And the proposed algorithm is stable, flexible and user-friendly.
