CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Multicasting (P2PM'07)
www.samrg.org/p2pm07/
hosted by
IEEE Consumer and Communications and Networking
Conference 2007 (IEEE CCNC 2007)
Jan 11, 2007, Las Vegas, NV, USA
www.ieee-ccnc.org

The convergence of networked consumer electronics and
peer-to-peer networking enables new applications that
require efficient multicast communication.  These
applications include peercasting of multimedia streams,
multi-party conferencing, multi-player games, and group chat.
Many consumer applications of multicasting involve small
groups of users, and future P2P multicast services could
need to support millions of simultaneous groups.

Due to delayed deployment of native multicast, various
end-system, application layer (ALM) and overlay multicast
(OM) designs have been proposed.  In the future, these
protocols are expected to coexist and integrate with
native IP multicast protocols while offering more flexible
deployment options and scaling to support a greater number
of simultaneous multicast groups.

P2PM=9207 is intended to serve as a continuing forum for
scientists and engineers in academia and industry to
exchange and discuss their experiences, new ideas, and
research results about all aspects of P2P multicasting.
It will address the challenges, technologies, and architectures
leading to real-world solutions that provide P2P users
with efficient, flexible, and deployable multicast services.
The principal theme of P2PM=9207 is the development of protocols,
architectures and applications of peer-to-peer multicasting
and the performance evaluation of these designs.

Topics of particular interest include, but are not
limited to:

=AD	Peer-to-peer overlays with multicast support
=AD	Small group multicast
=AD	Explicit multicasting
=AD	Application Layer Multicast (ALM)
=AD	Overlay Multicast (OM)
=AD	Peercasting
      Multicasting in mobile networks
=AD	Hybrid multicasting architectures
=AD	Comparitive analysis of ALM and OM architectures
=AD	Scalable integration of QoS mechanisms
=AD	Overlay content distribution
=AD	Multi-path routing for overlay multicasting
=AD	Methods for group formation and discovery that scale to
       large numbers of groups
=AD	Support for highly dynamic group membership
=AD	Efficient multicast for limited-resource nodes and access links
=AD	Control mechanisms for hybrid systems
=AD	Underlay network support and optimization
=AD	Deploying, diagnosing, debugging, and managing P2P multicast services
=AD	Geocasting
=AD	Multicasting in the global information grid (GIG)
=AD	Integration with network- and application-layer security mechanisms

Important dates:

Dear Buford,

I work in the multicast area. I was reading the sam problem statement 
draft (draft-irtf-sam-problem-statement-00.txt).
I think you have succinctly summarised the problem.  I have some 
comments to the draft.
Please let me know if these are relevant.

we see that there are 2 mobility scenarios associated with multicast:

If the mobileip is the mobility solution of choice and the overlay is 
transparent to this: (example scenarios with native multicast is given 
below):

Section 4 Mobility:

1 - If foreign network has multicast router, mobile node can join the 
multicast group through that multicast router.
        a - If mobile node is coloacated then it uses coa as the source 
address of control mesages, otherwise Mobile Node MAY use its home 
address(But if mobile node want to send packets to multicast group in 
foreign network, source ip of packets should be coloacated ip).
        b - causes  a leave-join sequence.
        c - If router is not a part of  multicast SPT, joining in 
foreign network causes delay.

2 - Home agent tunnels packets to/from mobile node.
        a - mobile node used home address for multicast control messages.
        b - No need to join/leave during handoff.
        c - may result in duplicate packets if MN is not coloacated. 
Consider two mobile nodes belonging to different network which are in 
the same foreign network. Both subscribe to same group, then packets of 
same multicast group are coming from two networks. Possible solutions to 
this are:
        1 - Applications in mobile node will take care of duplicate packets.
        2 - Multicast packets will be  sent to mobile node as unicast 
packets(Mobile IPv4 uses this solution).
        But in case of coloacated MN multicast packets are directly 
tunneled to MN.

It would be good to add both these scenarios in the problem statement draft.

Need to consider  the movement scenario between heterogenous multicast 
networks (say, from native multicast region to overlay(OL/ALM) multicast 
region or viceversa).
Yet another problem is that some of the solutions to the packet loss 
advocates buffering packets at HA:
This may result in duplicate packets. If foreign network already has 
mobile node subscribed to same group, when handoff happens these 
buffered packets are duplicate packets to that mobile node.
        a - potential solutions might be to transfer the buffered 
packets to mobile node as unicast packets.
        b - let the applications handle duplicate detection.
Instead of buffering at HA, it is better to buffer at old router(Access 
router/FA).

how to handle multicast service advertisements?
        multicast advertisements are also multicast packets with well known
multicast group ip and port number. Should these multicast service 
packets be
tunneled to mobile nodes which are in foreign network? If not how mobile 
nodes
will come to know about services provided by the home network.

5 Security:
        Will sam specify the interworking between the security 
mechanisms of the heterogenous mc mechanisms?

Thanks,
Shivanand Kadadi.

Shiv,
Thanks for your comments on the Problem Statement.

The two IP Multicast mobility scenarios you
provide would be a good addition to the mobility
section.

Your other points about heterogeneous movement,
buffering, and multicast service advertisements
are also good ones.

Regarding the security question, interoperability
of existing mc security mechanisms is in scope.

Would you be able to edit section 4 of the
draft to incorporate your scenarios and issues?
If so, send me the revised text you propose and
we can issue a new draft for comment by the mailing
list.

John

Dear all:
      It's so great to hear some voices from SAM. Overaly technologies 
could be well used in Mobility solutions and several researches have 
been focusing on this topic.

  John:  Regarding the draft, I am just wondering whether the following 
issue fall into the problem statement as well?

- In Section 2.2, you've mentioned "regional transitions". How about the 
transience of group members? Since application level multicast systems 
are mainly dependent on the group members to maintain such an overlay 
network.
    - If we need to consider the transience of nodes, then two 
situations are required: graceful leave & unexpected leave
      a. graceful leave: need to consider tree re-construction
      b. ungraceful leave: failure detection + failure recovery

By the way, I am currently focusing on above topic. I will try to give 
an brief overview on this topic by next week.

Best Regards

>         a - mobile node used home address for multicast control messages.
>         b - No need to join/leave during handoff.
>         c - may result in duplicate packets if MN is not coloacated.
