Abstract

Reliable multicast networks scale back the speed at which content is delivered to accommodate the slowest receiver. By extracting information about the receiver's capabilities, the service provider can select which receivers to admit, and at which speed to operate the network. We examine the application of the Generalized Vickrey Auction to pricing reliable multicast and present a distributed method to compute the GVA prices.
