A bandwidth analysis of multicast congestion control using the SRMSH approach

The study of congestion control for Internet reliable multicast is at present an active research field. In this paper we present scalable reliable multicast stair hybrid (SRMSH) as a multiple layer mechanism for multicast congestion control providing detection and recovery loss. We simulated SRMSH with different traffic sources to measure heterogeneity, scalability and fairness. Our work focus on bandwidth analysis and results clearly conclude that SRMSH exhibits reasonable throughput using these metrics and a good performance competing with typical traffic flow from Internet like TCP.
