End-System multicasting (ESM) is a promising application-layer scheme that has been recently proposedfor implementing multicast routing in the application layer as a practical alternative to the IPmulticasting. Moreover, ESM is an efficient application layer solution where all the multicastfunctionality is shifted to the end users. However, the limitation in bandwidth and the fact that themessage needs to be forwarded from host-to-host using unicast connection, and consequentlyincrementing the end-to-end delay of the transmission process, contribute to the price to pay for this newapproach. Therefore, supporting high-speed real-time applications such as live streaming multimedia,videoconferencing, distributed simulations, and multiparty games require a sound understanding of thesemulticasting schemes such as IP multicast and ESM and the factors that might affect the end-userrequirements. In this paper, we present both the analytical and the mathematical models for formalizingthe end-to-end delay efficiency of both IP and ESM multicast systems. For the sake of the experimentalverifications of the proposed models, simulation results are presented in this paper. Finally, the proposedformulization can be used to design and implement a more robust and efficient multicast systems for thefuture networks.
