We present a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. Our algorithm behaves similarly to TCP congestion control algorithms, and shares bandwidth fairly with other instances of the protocol and with TCP flows. It is entirely receiver driven and requires no per-receiver status at the sender, in order to scale to large numbers of recei...

We present a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. Our algorithm behaves similarly to TCP congestion control algorithms, and shares bandwidth fairly with other instances of the protocol and with TCP ows. It is entirely receiver driven and requires no per-receiver status at the sender, in order to scale to large numbers of receive...

This paper describes the design of a reliable multicast framework which integrates FEC and receiverinitiated retransmit to ensure reliability. A dynamically elected control tree is used to aggregate the NAKs and tackle the NAK implosion problem. Both techniques support flow and congestion control to enable efficient, high data rate multicast data transfer as performance measurements with our pr...
