Abstract: The multicast routing technology with multi-QoS constraint is the key for distributed multimedia on the network. The ant colony algorithm is one of the best algorithms for solving the multicast routing problem with multi-QoS constraint, but it takes too much time to converge. Therefore, a modified ant colony algorithm was proposed. This new algorithm adopts the group-member-node-driven method to create the tree and adds the orientation factor to the probability function, which enables the ant to get rid of the initial blindness when searching paths. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can rapidly converge.

Key words: quality of service (QoS) , orientation factor, multicast routing, ant colony algorithm
