TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC): Protocol Specification
Joerg Widmer, Mark James Handley · 2006
This document specifies TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC).TFMCC is a congestion control mechanism for multicast transmissions in a best-effort Internet environment.It is a single-rate congestion control scheme, where the sending rate is adapted to the receiver experiencing the worst network conditions.TFMCC is reasonably fair when competing for bandwidth with TCP flows and has a relatively low variation of throughput over time, making it suitable for applications where a relatively smooth sending rate is of importance, such as streaming media.
