We propose and study a scalable ow-control algorithm for multicast ABR (Available Bit Rate)
service. A key idea behind the algorithm is the Soft-Synchronization Protocol (SSP), which …

We present a balanced and unbalanced binary-tree model to explore the delay performance
of feedback synchronization algorithms for multicast ABR flow control. Using this model, we …

We present a distributed algorithm to compute the bandwidth max-min fair rates in a multi-
rate multicast network. The significance of the algorithm, compared to previous algorithms …

Feedback signaling plays a key role in flow control because the traffic source relies on the
signaling information to make correct and timely flow-control decisions. Design of an efficient …

In this paper, we address the rate control problem for layered multicast traffic, with the
objective of solving a generalized throughput/fairness objective. Our approach is based on a …

We propose a flow-control scheme for multicast ABR services in ATM networks. At the heart
of the proposed scheme is an optimal secondorder rate control algorithm, called the-control …

Multipoint communication has been an increasingly focused topic in computer
communication networks, including both the Internet and the ATM networks. We have …

In multirate multicasting, different users (receivers) within the same multicast group could
receive service at different rates, depending on user requirements and network congestion …

In this paper, we address the rate control problem for layered multicast sessions, with the
objective of solving a generalized throughput/fairness objective. Our approach is based on a …
