But in topology based multicast protocols maintenance of group members, creation and maintenance of tree/mesh is somewhat difficult. In this study, we introduced a zone based virtual isometric structure. Virtual architectures are used without need of maintaining state information. Here, we use the concept of Artificial Bee Colony algorithm for splitting up of zones for quick transmission of data. Scalable receiver based multicast routing protocol is a stateless multicast routing protocol significantly reduces the tree or mesh management overhead. It is more efficient, robust and a dynamic protocol under all the circumstances and it gives higher packet delivery ratio. ER -
