TCP-Like Congestion Control for Layered Multicast Data Transfer

Overview This paper presents a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. The 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 receivers. It relies on standard functionalities of multicast routers, and is suitable for continuous stream and reliable bulk data transfer. This paper illustrates the algorithm, characterize its response to losses both analytically and by simulations, and analyse its behaviour using simulations and experiments in real networks.
