Abstract

This paper presents a multicast congestion control mechanism using combination of both sender and receiver-based approach for multicast communication. We focus on mechanism that the protocol can adapt with network condition by adjusting the transmission rate (RAP) based on ACK/NACK and detect a loss based on NACK transmitted by receivers. We add ACK/NACK suppression mechanism at receivers to avoid feedback implosion at sender. Our simulation result shows that packet flow with small path delay is able to increase transmission rate aggressively due to small feedback delay and the number of packet loss is decrease as an increasing the path delay. By adding ACK/NACK suppression mechanism at receiver, packet loss can be reduced as well as feedback implosion can be avoided.
