Title
Equation-Based Approach To Tcp-Compatible Multicast Congestion Control For Layered Transmission In Low-Multiplexing Environments
Abstract
Multi-rate multicast has been proposed as a scalable solution to transmitting video over the Internet to receivers with heterogeneous and dynamic rate requirements. In this paper, the applicability of an equation-based mechanism to congestion control for a protocol which bases its join and leave actions on the calculation of the TCP response function is investigated. We focus on the rate calculation algorithm proposed in TFRC as it is currently a very promising and mature approach to calculating a TCP-compatible rate. By means of a network simulator and an adjusted TFRC,protocol implementation we show that the TU-compatible rate calculated with the algorithm as originally proposed tends to be biased when applied in environments with a low degree of statistical multiplexing. To improve the performance of the basic algorithm, a simple heuristic approach is proposed.
