Abstract:
Internet Protocol Television(IPTV) is a system facilitating
transmission of television channels as multicast streams use
dedicated multicast group addresses in IP networks.Internet Group
Multicast Protocol(IGMP) is widely used for the communication between
the hosts and routers to deliver these multicast streams.It is also
possible for the networks to distinguish these multicast streams not
only by their destination multicast group but also by the source IP
address of the streams.In IGMP version-3 implementation,the networks
can deliver the multicast traffic to the hosts from the specific
multicast sources requested by the users.This needs a mechanism to
supply the available multicast source address information to the
hosts and the hosts also should be strictly implemented with IGMPv3
client. This document describes a new DHCP option which can addresses
these issues.In addition to this,the document also describes about
the advantages in the networks by implementing this option.
