Osman Ghazali, Mohd Hanis Ahmad Shabli, Suhaidi Hassan · 2007
Most of the current Layered multicast protocol (LMP) employ TCP-equation model as the regulator for layer subscription. RTT is an important parameter of TCP-equation model. The accuracy of RTT estimation affects the accuracy of target rate estimation and the protocol friendliness towards TCP flows. Currently, several RTT estimation techniques have been proposed for LMP. This paper reports performance evaluation of RTT estimation techniques when being implemented in LMP.
