Peer reviewedSun, Wei-qiang; Li, Jin-sheng; Hong, Pei-lin – Internet Research, 2003
Multicasting is a necessity for a broadband metro-area-network; however security problems exist with current multicast protocols. A stateful multicast access control mechanism, based on MAPE, is proposed. The architecture of MAPE is discussed, as well as the states maintained and messages exchanged. The scheme is flexible and scalable. (Author/AEF)
