This paper focuses on tree based reliable multicast protocols, or more precisely TRACK (Tree based Acknowledgment) protocols, as defined by IETF. With the TRACK approach, the classical feedback implosion problem is handled by a set of servers, organized in a tree structure, which are in charge of local retransmissions and feedback aggregation. We study the impact oft he control tree structure (for instance the number of servers to be deployed) on transmission performances. We propose a new model, where point processes represent the receivers and the servers, which captures loss correlation phenomena. We are able to get explicit expressions ofth e number ofu seless retransmissions (useless as the given segment was already received) as a function of a limited number oftre e characteristics. Generic tree configuration rules, optimizing transmission efficiency, are obtained.
