Abstract

In multicasting multimedia data, effectively adapting to heterogeneous receivers is very difficult. In this paper, we propose an active traffic control mechanism for layered multimedia multicast (ATLM) in active network environment. The proposed scheme controls traffic at each router using the traffic condition of immediate children nodes. In addition, the traffic adjustment is much finer than existing multicast protocols of a granularity of one layer. Computer simulation reveals that the proposed scheme significantly improves the amount of delivered traffic and end-to-end delay as much as about 10% compared to layer-wise adjustment. Moreover, it does not require maintaining multiple sessions for transferring multiple layer data but only one session, and thus reduces the overhead on session management and network bandwidth.
