Foreword This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES). Introduction

18、 The general Service and Architecture aspects for Broadband Satellite Multimedia (BSM) systems are described in TR 101 984, IP-over-satellite aspects are described in TR 101 985 and functional models are defined for Quality of Service (QoS), Addressing, Routing and Multicasting. TR 102 156 develop t

19、he requirements for multicasting in further detail. The present document continues this theme by addressing an efficient solution for IPv4 multicast group management over BSM systems based on the definitions in the TR 101 984, TR 101 985 and TR 102 156. The specification of IGMP adaptation herein is

20、 based on results of the GEOCAST project of the ECs IST Programme. The IP multicast-over-satellite scenario described herein is also under consideration for the Amerhis project. ETSI ETSI TS 102 293 V1.1.1 (2004-02) 6 1 Scope The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is an integral part of IP an

21、d is required to be implemented by all hosts wishing to receive IP multicasts. The present document specifies modifications to IGMP which improve its performance when applied over satellite links. These modifications are internal to IGMP and do not affect the systems interoperability with IP. The mo

22、difications concern particularly the so-called “IGMPv2 mode“ (described in RFC 2236 2) which falls under the umbrella of IGMPv3 (RFC 3376 1). IGMPv3 offers automatic backwards reversion capability with the alternative IGMP modes. The adapted mode of IGMP is termed S-IGMP. This solution is suitable f

23、or multicast groups on geostationary satellite systems with two-way links. It is suitable for systems based on Any-Source Multicast (e.g. star networks) and especially for those which do not automatically retransmit IP multicast packets on return links to all group members. It is also beneficial to

24、systems which do have this ability for full subnet multicast. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.

32、 The BSM system is intended to interwork seamlessly with IP networks. In the case of IP multicast, group management protocols for local hosts on the satellite segment need to be interfaced with the relevant routing protocols on the external part of the network, to ensure dynamic configuration of mul

33、ticast routes. The present document defines how IGMP needs to be adapted to suit the BSM environment, whilst maintaining the same external interface and behaviour towards IP. The adapted mode of IGMP will be termed S-IGMP. The BSM network and protocol architecture relies on the generic BSM architect

34、ures in TR 101 985. The background to BSM IP multicast interworking is described in TR 102 156. Applicable BSM IGMP multicast architectures are described in TS 102 294. 4.2 Need for IGMP adaptation IGMP is used as the basis for IP multicast forwarding across a local network attached to a multicast r

35、outer. IGMP is intended particularly for LANs with a shared (broadcast) medium, where every host can listen to IGMP reports sent by others, and where there is low delay. As satellite multicast groups become very large and dynamic, serious scalability consequences can arise. This is particularly true

36、 of typical satellite configurations where, even with two-way communications, the broadcast property generally exists only in the forward link; terminals cannot listen to direct or retransmitted reports from other terminals to suppress redundant reports. The IGMP querier located at the gateway route

37、r may then receive thousands of reports from the STs (hence the name “IGMP flooding“) leading to a waste of bandwidth as well as high processing power demand at the querier. Another problem is significant waste of traffic resources due to latency in stopping multicast group transmissions when member

38、s have left. The delay introduced in hosts reports to improve report suppression further degrades this latency. A mechanism to adjust the host delay for optimal latency without significantly affecting report suppression is defined. A more detailed explanation of the need for and choices of adaptatio

39、n is given in clause A.1. ETSI ETSI TS 102 293 V1.1.1 (2004-02) 8 4.3 IGMP modes IGMPv3 (RFC 3376 1) is the currently avalaible version of the protocol, but it can be configured, or can reconfigure itself automatically depending on its IGMP client versions for each group and interface, to operate in

40、 one of: 1) IGMPv3 native mode: - intended for interoperability with any-source multicast (ASM), with extensions for source-specific multicast routing protocols (e.g. PIM-SSM); - has scalability problems over large satellite multicast groups. 2) IGMPv2 mode: - intended for interoperability with a wi

41、de range of ASM routing protocols (e.g. PIM-SM). 3) IGMPv1 (RFC 1112) mode, for legacy applications. S-IGMP described herein concerns modifications to IGMPv2, or equivalently to the “IGMPv2 mode“ of IGMPv3. This version is chosen because it: is the most efficient IGMP mode in terms of signalling tra

42、ffic (allows report suppression); needs a minimum of adaptation for satellite use compared to IGMPv3 mode. 4.4 Advantages of S-IGMP solution The S-IGMP solution defined herein is designed for high performance and scalability consistent with: 1) High reuse of existing IGMP functions: - the IGMP clien

43、t functions are unchanged (existing IGMPv2 end-hosts and proxies, or this mode in IGMPv3 clients can be used); - the IGMP packets on the satellite link are fully consistent with IGMPv3 (RFC 3376 1). 2) Low implementation complexity: - only the IGMP querier function (in the router) is modified. A key

44、 feature of the adaptation is that the reuse of the existing IGMP packet format and standard IGMPv2 clients simplifies deployment of STs and user equipment. Only the behaviour of the querier is modified. Any adaptation of IGMPv3 mode with similar performance would require modified clients as well as

45、 queriers. 4.5 Influence of IGMP proxies, etc. Like many other IP functions, IGMP is often handled through proxy servers (or similar intermediaries) when a single interface to a local subnetwork is needed. Such IGMP proxies are common in the marketplace and require no modification if they are used a

46、t the client side of S-IGMP. (If they are used at the querier side of S-IGMP then they must implement S-IGMP instead of the source router). The present document does not therefore define the functions of such proxies (or snooping switches), but it describes their use in network architectures. 5 Appl

47、icability and assumptions 5.1 Use of IGMP in BSM multicast architectures A common scenario for IP multicast over satellites is the so-called “edge“ multicast network, in which only single hosts or small networks of hosts (i.e. “stub“ networks with no transit traffic) are attached to the remote STs a

48、nd are provided with multicast services via satellite from the Internet or from sources situated in other networks. ETSI ETSI TS 102 293 V1.1.1 (2004-02) 9 In this scenario a multicast router situated on one side of a satellite system needs to forward IP multicast packets to the remote IP hosts (or

49、multicast “receivers“). At the IP network level, this situation is very similar to the terrestrial multicast case concerning the multicast routers forwarding on an interface to its locally attached hosts.
