Abstract In the distributed networks, many applications send information from a source
node to multiple destination nodes. To support these applications requirements, the paper
presents a multi-objective algorithm based on ant colonies to construct a multicast tree
for data transmission in a computer network. The proposed algorithm simultaneously
optimizes total weight (cost, delay and hop) of the multicast tree. Experimental results
prove the proposed algorithm outperforms a recently published Multi-objective Multicast
Algorithm specially designed for solving the multicast routing problem. Also, it is able to
find a better solution with fast convergence speed and high reliability. More >
