9、tion of simplex multicast transport Summary The Enhanced Communications Transport Protocol (ECTP) is a transport protocol designed to support Internet multicast applications running over multicast-capable networks. ECTP operates over IPv4/IPv6 networks that have the IP multicast forwarding capabilit
10、y with the help of IGMP and IP multicast routing protocols. ECTP could possibly be provisioned over UDP. ECTP is targeted to support tightly controlled multicast connections. This Recommendation I International Standard defines the protocol which provides reliability control in the simplex multicast
11、 case, adopting a tree-based approach. Other Recommendations I International Standards in the ECTP family will define the QoS management functions for the simplex case and will define reliability control and corresponding QoS management functions for the duplex case and the N-plex case. The sender i
12、s at the heart of multicast group communications. A single sender in the simplex multicast connection is assigned the role of the connection owner. The connection owner is responsible for overall connection management by governing connection creation and termination, connection pause and resumption,
13、 and join and leave operations. For tree-based reliability control, a hierarchical tree is configured during connection creation. The sender is the root of the control tree. The control tree can define a parent-child relationship between any pair of tree nodes. This treebased structure can result in
14、 local owners occurring at lower levels in the tree hierarchy as the control structure extends. Each local owner created becomes the root of its own local control tree. The connection owner will then be the root of the overall control tree. Error control is performed for each local group defined by
15、a control tree. Each parent retransmits lost data, in response to retransmission requests fiom its children.

The IT Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions
17、and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in tuni, produce Recommendations on t
18、hese topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and EC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the exp

ECTP operate

28、ast I I Figure 1 - ECTP Model ECTP is designed to support tightly controlled multicast connections in simplex, duplex and N-plex applications. This Part of ECTP specifies the protocol mechanisms for reliability control in the simplex case. ECTP also provides QoS management functions for stable manag
29、ement of the QoS of the connection users. Such QoS management functionality can be achieved with QoS negotiation, monitoring and maintenance operations. The protocol procedures for QoS management of the simplex case will be defined in the simplex QoS management specification (ITU-T Rec. X.606.1 I IS
30、O/IEC 14476-2), which forms an integral part of this Recommendation I International Standard. Further specifications will define control procedures and associated QoS management functions for the duplex case (ITU-T Rec. X.607 I ISO/IEC 14476-3 and ITU-T Rec. X.607.1 I ISO/IEC 14476-4) and for the N-
31、plex case (ITU-T Rec. X.608 I ISO/IEC 14476-5 and ITU-T Rec. X.608.1 I ISO/IEC 14476-6). In ECTP, ail prospective members are enrolled into a multicast group, before a connection or session is created. Those members defne an enrolled group. Each receiver in the enrolled group is referred to as an en
32、rolled receiver. In the enrolment process, each member will be authenticated. The group information, including group key and IP multicast addresses and port numbers, will be distributed to the enrolled members during the enrolment process. An ECTP connection is created for these enrolled group membe
33、rs. ECTP is targeted for tightly controlled multicast services. The sender is at the heart of multicast group communications. A single sender in the simplex multicast connection is assigned the role of the connection owner, designated as top owner (TO) in this Specification. The connection owner is
34、responsible for overall connection management by governing connection creation and termination, connection pause and resumption, and join and leave operations. The sender triggers the connection creation process. Some or all of the enrolled receivers will participate in the connection, becoming desi
35、gnated “active receivers“. Any enrolled receiver that is not active may participate in the connection as a late-joiner. An active receiver can leave the connection. After the connection is created, the sender begins to transmit multicast data. If network problems (such as severe congestion) are indi
36、cated by the ECTP QoS management functions (defined in ECTP part 2), the sender suspends multicast data transmission temporarily, invoking the connection pause operation. After a pre-specified time, the sender resumes data transmission. If all of the multicast data have been transmitted, the sender
37、terminates the connection. ECTP provides the reliability control mechanisms for multicast data transport. ECTP mechanisms are designed to keep congruency with those being proposed in the IETF. To address reliability control with scalability, the IETF has proposed three approaches: Tree based ACK (TR
38、ACK), Forward Error Correction (FEC), and Negative ACK Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM). Each approach has its own pros and cons, and each service provider may take a different approach toward implementing reliability control. ECTP adopts the TRACK approach, because it is more similar to the exist
39、ing TCP mechanisms and more adaptive to the ECTP framework. For tree-based reliability control, a hierarchical tree is configured during connection creation. The sender is the root of the control tree. The control tree can define a parent-child relationship between any pair of tree nodes. This tree-
40、based structure can result in local owners (parents) occurring at lower levels in the tree hierarchy as the control structure extends. Each local owner created becomes the root of its own local control tree. The connection owner will then be the root of the overall control tree. Error control is per
41、formed for each local group defined by a control tree. Each parent retransmits lost data, in response to retransmission requests fkom its children. iv ITU-T Rec.
