Title
ALMTF++: a new congestion control for large scale multicast transmission
Abstract
One of the obstacles for scaling the use of multicast over the Internet is the development of adequate congestion control protocols. The ALMTF (Adaptive Layered Multicast TCP-Friendly) protocol is part of the project SAM (Multimedia Adaptive System), and it was elaborated in a dissertation for achieving doctorate degree. It had its original evaluation in the network simulator NS-2. One advantage of this algorithm is to infer the level of network congestion, determining the best receiving rate for each receptor. Besides that, the protocol controls the received rate, aiming to achieve fairness and impartiality with the concurrent network traffic. The objective of this work is to extend the ALMTF protocol to a real network, proposing new alternatives for this environment adaptation, in such a way that it can be integrated in multicast applications such as distance education, internet conferences or IPTV. The results were validated in local and long distance networks and showed a new and more efficient algorithm, called ALMTF++.
