Research in the area of QoS‐aware dynamic multicast routing protocols has been very active in recent years. Protocols based on dynamic Steiner tree strategies, such as YAM and QoSMIC, have been consistently shown to outperform those based on shortest path heuristics, such as PIM and DVMRP. However,...
