  • SMAX: Simple Multicast ATM for XUNET:
    A Scalable, Modular Framework to support ATM Applications. This paper describes mechansisms to support 1:N and M:N multicast trees over ATM networks. The paper describes why interleaving cells from multiple sources causes problems for the adaptation layer and cell reassembly. A mechansism to provide native-mode ATM multicast is described for the XUNET testbed which can be generalized for use on other ATM hardware. (July 1994) (7 pages)

  • Native Mode ATM Multicast on XUNET
    Talk describing how to implmenet IP multicast using ATM multicast features of XUNET hardware. (Feb 1995) (16 Pages)

  • Proposed Mbone/XUNET Extensions (1.7.7)
    Describes support for IP multicast over Xunet testbed, allowing programs such as Vat, Nevot, NV, and WB to run without modification on XUNET testbed. This paper gives configuration entries and link metrics needed for mrouted on XUNET routers. Paper also overviews multicast ATM and provides source-code examples of IP-multicast code. (Oct. 1993) (35 pages)
