Abstract

Scalability is always an issue for multicast protocols. This paper analyses and compares eight protocols for packet loss recovery in multicast communications. The goal of our analysis is to emphasise which protocols provide good recovery times without inducing too much extra traffic in the network, which is the limiting factor for scalability. Assuming the same loss rates on every link in the network, we make a statistical analysis to derive the expected number of packet retransmissions and compare the performance of the protocols. The results show great variations between protocols and provide good insights for the design of new protocols.
