A distributed multicast multi-rate maxmin flow control protocol
W.K. Tsai, Jordi Ros · 2004
This paper presents the first distributed multi-rate maxmin rate allocation protocol for multicast traffic. The protocol supports minimum rate guarantee for each receiver as a QoS parameter. The protocol is practical and it maintains a good performance-scalability trade-off. While the network is required to participate, the complexity added by the protocol is minimal.
