Abstract
Hierarchical DVMRP was proposed by Thyagarajan and Deeering in [TD95] as a multicast routing protocol for the MBone. H-DVMRP aims at overcoming some of the drawbacks of DVMRP when applied to widearea networks. DVMRP treats the network as a single flat routing domain meaning that each DVMRP router maintains an entry corresponding to every subnet in the network and exchanges distance vectors containing an entry for every subnet in the network with its neighbors. This calls for some sort of aggregation.
