TCP-Like Congestion Control for Layered Multicast Data Transfer: This paper presents a novel congestion control algorithm suitable for use with cumulative, layered data streams in the MBone. The algorithm behaves similarly to TCP congestion control algorithms, and shares bandwidth fairly with other instances of the protocol and with TCP flows. It is entirely receiver driven and requires no...; Tags: Algorithm, Congestion, Layered Technologies Inc., TCP, Tcp/Ip, Engineering, Networking; White papers 2007-01-01
TCP Vegas-Like Algorithm for Layered Multicast Transmission: Layered multicast is probably the most elegant solution to tackle the heterogeneity problem in multicast delivery of real-time multimedia streams. However, the multiple join experiments carried out by different receivers in order to detect the available bandwidth make it hard to achieve fairness. This paper presents a simple protocol, inspired...; Tags: Algorithm, Multimedia, Layered Technologies Inc., TCP, Fairness, Tcp/Ip, Networking; White papers 2007-01-01

Layered View of QoS Issues in IP-Based Mobile Wireless Networks: With the convergence of wireless communication and IP-based networking technologies, future IP-based wireless networks are expected to support real-time multimedia.
