Abstract:
In this paper we depict and evaluate the performance of a protocol for reliable bulkdata transfer from one sender to many receivers simultaneously, using the Internet multicast infrastructure (MBone). The protocol, featuring a TCP-friendly congestion control algorithm, has been designed aiming at achieving a complete scalability of the system with the respect to the number of receivers. For this reason both reliability and congestion control are carried out by receivers, avoiding to involve the sender in the congestion control feedback loop and relieving it from the burden of carrying out retransmission for all receivers. The receiver-driven congestion control algorithm presented is based on a redundant layered organisation of data, where redundancy is used to spread the information being sent into a large number of data units, providing receivers with flexibility in accepting some of them rather than others, and still being able to complete the reception. Reliability is based on a probabilistic approach and is achieved using redundancy and continuous transmission, providing graceful degradation of the protocol efficiency when the loss rate increases. Other contributions in this paper include: simulation of the protocol in competition with TCP with drop-tail and RED routers; analysis of the stable operating point; implementation and measurements of the protocol (future). 1
