Abstract
On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP) is a multicast routing
protocol designed for ad-hoc networks with mobile hosts. ODMRP is
a mesh-based, rather than a conventional tree-based, multicast
scheme and uses a Forwarding Group concept (only a subset of nodes
forwards the multicast packets via scoped flooding). It applies
on-demand procedures to dynamically set up routes and maintain
multicast group membership. ODMRP is well suited for ad-hoc
wireless networks with mobile hosts where bandwidth is limited,
topology changes frequently and rapidly, and power is constrained.

1. Introduction
This document describes the On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol
(ODMRP) developed by the Wireless Adaptive Mobility (WAM) Lab [11]
at UCLA. ODMRP applies "on-demand" routing techniques to avoid
channel overhead and increase scalability. It uses the concept of
"Forwarding Group," a set of nodes which is responsible for
forwarding multicast data, to build a forwarding mesh for each
multicast group. By establishing a mesh, drawbacks of multicast
trees in mobile wireless networks (e.g., intermittent connectivity,
traffic concentration, frequent tree reconfiguration, non-shortest
path in a shared tree, etc.) are avoided. The forwarding group
infrastructure reduces storage overhead and can handle a much
looser connectivity among multicast members. The reduction of
channel/storage overhead and the relaxed connectivity make ODMRP
more scalable for large networks and more stable for mobile wireless
networks. The following properties of ODMRP highlight its advantages
as well as limitations.
* Low channel and storage overhead
* Usage of up-to-date and shortest routes
* Robustness to host mobility
* Maintenance and exploitation of multiple, redundant paths
* Scalability to large number of nodes
* Exploitation of the broadcast nature of wireless environments
* Independence from unicast routing protocols
* Ease of implementation
* Redundant forwarding due to mesh configuration
* Growth of transmitting table size when the number of group
members increases
The Forwarding Group Multicast Protocol (FGMP) was first introduced
in [4] using a conventional routing structure (i.e., DSDV [8]). An
extension of FGMP by incorporating on-demand scheme was proposed in
[3]. ODMRP improves upon its predecessors by exploiting sender
advertisement scheme which is more efficient than receiver
advertisement scheme in a typical multicast environment where more
receivers are present than multicast senders. Moreover, the sender
advertisement fits better with unicast on-demand routing protocols.

3. Protocol Overview
3.1. Group Establishment and Route Setup
3.1.1. Mesh Creation
In ODMRP, group membership and multicast routes are setup and
updated by the source on demand. While a multicast source has
packets to send, it periodically floods a member advertising
packet. This packet, called a "Join Request" packet (format will
be shown in Section 4.1.), is broadcasted periodically as long as
the source has packets to send. This periodic transmission refreshes
the membership information and updates the route in the face of
node movements. When a node receives a Join Request packet, it
stores multicast group ID, source ID, and sequence number to its
"Message Cache" to detect duplicates. Previous node ID is stored as
well for a use which will be described later. If the Join Request
packet is not a duplicate and the hop count does not exceed the
Time-To-Live value, it is relayed.
When the Join Request packet reaches a multicast receiver, the
receiving node creates or updates the source entry in its Member
Table, whose format will be shown in Section 3.2.1. Expired entries
are deleted from the member table. A multicast receiver also sends
periodic control packets. Namely, from its "Member Table," it builds
a "Join Table" and sends it to its neighbors. Section 4.2 will show
the format of the Join Table. When a node receives a Join Table, it
checks if the next node ID of one of the entries matches its own ID.
If it does, the node realizes that it is on the path to the source
and thus is part of the forwarding group; it sets the
FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG. It then broadcasts its own Join Table built
upon matched entries. The next node ID field is filled in by
extracting the information from its Member Cache of received Join
Request packets. Namely, the next node ID is set to the previous
node ID field of the Join Request that matches multicast group ID
and sender ID of the Join Table just received. This way, the Join
Table is propagated by each forward group member until it
reaches the multicast source via the shortest delay path. This
process sets up (or updates) the route from source to each receiver
and builds a mesh of nodes, the forwarding group.
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 6]

|S1|-------|I1|-------|R1|
+--+\ +--+ /+--+ Join Table of Node R1 and Node I1
\ / +----------------+ +----------------+
\ / |Sender|Next Node| |Sender|Next Node|
\ / |------+---------| |------+---------|
\ / | S1 | I1 | | S1 | S1 |
\ / |------+---------| +----------------+
+--+ \+--+/ +--+ | S2 | I2 |
|S2|-------|I2|-------|R2| +----------------+
+--+ +--+ +--+
Let us consider the above figure as an example of Join Table
forwarding process. Nodes S1 and S2 are multicast sources, and nodes
R1 and R2 are multicast receivers. Node R2 sends its Join Table to
both S1 and S2 via I2, and R1 sends its packet to S1 via I1 and to
S2 via I2. When receivers send their Join Tables to next hop nodes,
an intermediate node I1 sets the FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG and builds
its own Join Table since there is a next node ID entry in the
received Join Table that matches its ID. Note that I1 has an entry
for sender S1 but not for S2 because the next node ID for S2 in the
join table received from R1 is not I1. In the meanwhile, node I2
sets the FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG, constructs its own Join Table and
sends it to its neighbors. Note that I2 broadcasts the join table
only once even though it receives two Join Tables from the
receivers. This is because the second table arrival carries no new
source information. Channel overhead is thus reduced dramatically in
cases where numerous multicast receivers share the same links to the
source.
After this group establishment and route setup process, a multicast
source can transmit packets to receivers via selected routes and
forwarding groups. The periodic control packets are sent as long as
data packets to send are still present. When receiving the multicast
data packet, a node forwards it only when it is not a duplicate and
the setting of FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG has not expired. This procedure
minimizes the traffic overhead and prevents sending packets through
stale routes.
3.1.2. Joining the Group
If a node wants to join a particular multicast group as a source,
it simply sends the Join Request packet when it has data packets to
send. Thereafter, this packet is periodically sent as long as the
node has data to multicast.
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol November 1998
If a node wants to join a particular multicast group as a receiver,
it needs to send Join Table to its neighbors periodically as well as
every time its Member Table is modified/updated.
3.1.3. Leaving the Group
No explicit control packet needs to be sent to leave the group. If a
multicast source wants to leave the group, it simply stops sending
any Join Request packet since it doesn't have any multicast data to
send to the group.
If a receiver no longer wants to receive from a particular multicast
group, it removes the corresponding entries from its Member Table
and does not forward the Join Table for that group.
3.1.4. Timers
ODMRP uses a soft state approach for maintaining routes and
multicast/forwarding group members. The refresh and timeout
intervals used in ODMRP are defined as follows:
RTE_TIMEOUT
Timeout interval for Routing Table entries (RTE).
MEM_REFRESH
Refresh period of transmitting Join Request by a source when it
has data packets to send.
MEM_TIMEOUT
Timeout interval of Member Table entries.
JT_REFRESH
Refresh period of sending Join Tables when there are entries in
Member Table.
FG_TIMEOUT
Timeout interval of FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG by each forwarding
group members.
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol November 1998
Sender advertising packets (Join Requests) are issued by source
members every MEM_REFRESH interval when there are data packets to
send; entries in the Member Table which have not been refreshed
(did not receive Join Request before MEM_TIMEOUT) are removed.
Entries in routing table are deleted if the routes are not used in
RTE_TIMEOUT period. Join Tables are issued every JT_REFRESH when
valid entries exist in the Member Table. Any update of the member
table triggers the transmission of a Join Table as well. If
forwarding nodes are not refreshed (by receiving Join Tables)
within FG_TIMEOUT, they are demoted to non-forwarding nodes. These
parameters MUST be set to proper values in order to adapt to a
rapidly changing topology.
3.2. Contents of Tables
Nodes running ODMRP are required to maintain the following tables.
These tables MAY be implemented in any format, but MUST include the
fields specified in this document.
3.2.1. Member Table
Member table needs to be maintained by multicast receivers. For
each multicast group they are participating, they should store
multicast source IP address and the timestamp value to detect the
expired source. If no Join Request is received from a source in the
Member Table within MEM_TIMEOUT, it is removed from the Member
Table.
3.2.2. Routing Table
A routing table is created on demand and is maintained by each node.
There is no specific routing table format required by ODMRP.
However, the routing table MUST include the next hop address for
each destination maintained in the routing table.
3.2.3. Message Cache
Message Cache is maintained by each node to detect duplicates and to
provide next hop information of routes. When a node receives a new
Join Request, it MUST insert the following information to the
Message Cache:
* Multicast Group ID
* Source Address
* Sequence Number
* Previous Hop Address
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 9]
INTERNET-DRAFT On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol November 1998
3.3. Relationship with Unicast Routing Protocols
ODMRP can coexist with any unicast routing protocol since it finds
its own routes independently. From the point of view of scalability
and mobility support, it makes most sense to use ODMRP in
conjunction with on-demand unicast routing protocols such as
DSR [2], ZRP [5], TORA [6], AODV [9], and ABR [10]. If, on the other
hand, a conventional table driven unicast routing protocol is used,
then, a conventional, tree based multicast protocol may be adequate.

5. Operation
5.1. Forwarding Group Setup
5.1.1. Originating a Join Request
When a multicast source has data packets to send, it periodically
originates "Join Request" packets every MEM_REFRESH interval. The
Type field MUST be set to 01. TTL MAY be set to TIME_TO_LIVE_VALUE,
but SHOULD be adjusted based on network size and network diameter.
Sequence number MUST be large enough to prevent wraparound
ambiguity, and Hop Count is initially set to zero. The source puts
its IP address in the Source IP Address and Last Hop IP Address
field. Note that Join Request packet is not sent when a source does
not have any multicast packets to send.
5.1.2. Processing a Join Request
When a node receives a Join Request packet:
1. Check if it is a duplicate by comparing the (Source IP Address,
Sequence Number) combination with the entries in Message Cache.
If duplicate, then discard the packet. DONE.
2. If it is not a duplicate, insert an entry into Message Cache
with the information of the received packet (i.e., Multicast
Group IP Address, Sequence Number, Source IP Address, and
Previous Hop IP Address).
3. If the node is a receiver member of the multicast group, then
insert/update the information into the Member Table and
originate a Join Table packet (see Section 5.1.3.).
4. Increase the Hop Count field by 1.
5. If the Hop Count field value is equal to or larger than TTL,
then discard the packet. DONE.
6. If the Hop Count field value is less than TTL, then set the
node's IP Address into Last Hop IP Address field and broadcast.
DONE.
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 14]
INTERNET-DRAFT On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol November 1998
5.1.3. Originating a Join Table
A multicast receiver broadcasts a "Join Table" packet every
JT_REFRESH as long as there are any entries in its Member Table.
The transmission of Join Table is also triggered by the update of
its Member Table. Each Sender IP Address and Next Hop IP Address
pairs of a multicast group are contained in the Join Table packet.
Next Hop IP Address information can be obtained from the Message
Cache entries(Last Hop IP Address field of the Join Request
packet).
5.1.4. Processing a Join Table
When a Join Table is received:
1. The node looks up the Next Hop IP Address field of the received
Join Table entries. If no entries match the node's IP Address,
do nothing. DONE.
2. If one or more entries coincide with the node's IP Address, set
the FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG and build its own Join Table. Next Hop
IP Address information can be obtained from the Join Cache
entries (Last Hop IP Address field of the Join Request packet).
3. Broadcast the Join Table packet.
5.2. Multicast Data Packet Handling
Multicast sources broadcast the Data whenever they have packets
to send. Nodes relay data packets only if the packet is not a
duplicate and the FORWARDING_GROUP_FLAG has not expired.

operation. Note that some of the values SHOULD be adjusted to nodes'
mobility speed and network size.
FG_TIMEOUT 480 milliseconds

7. Protocol Applicability
7.1. Networking Context
ODMRP is best suited for mobile ad hoc wireless networks.
7.2. Protocol Characteristics and Mechanisms
* Does the protocol provide support for unidirectional links? (if so,
how?)
- No. We assume bidirectional links.
* Does the protocol require the use of tunneling? (if so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol require using some form of source routing? (if
so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol require the use of periodic messaging? (if so,
how?)
- Yes. The periodic messages are sent by multicast sources as
long as there exist multicast packets to send. Multicast
receivers also send periodic messages while there are multicast
source entries in the Member Table.
* Does the protocol require the use of reliable or sequenced packet
delivery? (if so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol provide support for routing through a multi-
technology routing fabric? (if so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol provide support for multiple hosts per router?
(if so, how?)
- No. In this document, we assume each mobile host is combined
with a router, sharing the same IP address. It is possible,
however, to extend the protocol to handle multiple hosts per
router.
Gerla, Pei, Lee, and Chiang [Page 17]
INTERNET-DRAFT On-Demand Multicast Routing Protocol November 1998
* Does the protocol support the IP addressing architecture? (if so,
how?)
- Yes. The message contains host IP address as its identification.
* Does the protocol require link or neighbor status sensing (if so,
how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol have dependence on a central entity? (if so,
how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol function reactively? (if so, how?)
- Yes. For example, the source creates and maintains routes and
multicast group membership only when it has data packets to
send.
* Does the protocol function proactively? (if so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol provide loop-free routing? (if so, how?)
- Yes. By using the Message Cache, duplicate packets are detected
and packets can only go through the loop-free route.
* Does the protocol provide for sleep period operation? (if so, how?)
- No.
* Does the protocol provide some form of security? (if so, how?)
- TBD. The work is in progress.
* Does the protocol provide support for utilizing multi-channel,
link-layer technologies? (if so, how?)
- This document assumed an arbitrary single channel link-layer
protocol. The protocol can work with any MAC and link-layer
technology. It can also support multi-channel link-layer
technology (e.g., separate channels for data, control packets,
etc.).
