Research on the basic reliable multicast transport protocol in spatially correlated packet loss
Zeng Liu · Jounal of Xidian University · 2001
This paper mainly aims at the two problems in reliable multicast transport, lack of identical mathematical model and analysis in the circumstance of Spatially Correlated Loss. Two types of basic reliable multicast transport protocol (ACK and NAK based ) are presented. An analysis is made in the circumstance of Spatially Correlated Loss in order to exhibit their characters in scalability and bandwidth usage. The result shows that the reliable multicast transport protocol based on NAK with the NAK suppression scheme requires a smaller bandwidth and exhibits perfect scalability.
