Generalized Multicast Congestion Control An Efficient Multi-rate Scheme Using Single-rate Control

摘要

In this paper, we propose a multicast congestion control called GMCC. It provides multi-rate features at low complexity by encompassing a set of independent single-rate sub-sessions (a.k.a layers). Various receivers can subscribe to different subsets of these layers to achieve different throughput. The sending rate in each layer is adjusted without boundary by a single-rate multicast congest control algorithm. The set of layers offered to receivers is also dynamically adapted to need. In summary, GMCC is fully adaptive.
