A distributed QoS (quality of service) -aware source-specific multicast routing protocol—DQSSMR is proposed to increase the successful join ratio and lower the overhead of the control message in QoS required multicast routing. By an improved searching strategy, the cost of message control is reduced and the successful join ratio is increased. The network load is balanced due to the distributed routing operation and the scalability is enhanced further because of the usage of SSM (source- specific multicast) service model in DQSSMR. The analysis results indicate that DQSSMR performs as expected.
