A new multicast routing algorithm reducing congestion is presented in this article. The algorithm uses efficient routing by transmitting multicast packets across fewer links in the network. In addition, the algorithm balances the use of network nodes and links by reducing packet duplication in the nodes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
