The article presents a proposed method to select an optimal set of the multicast protocol parameters, which are linearly independent from each other. A multidimensional hyperspace, as a mathematical model, is stated where every transport protocol parameter is represented with an individual point. A determined novel protocol parameter set is shown and the modeling procedure is presented on some examples. A multicast transport simulator has been applied to describe the performance of the transport protocols and for optimization of the parameters, providing the most reliable multicasting operation.
This chapter presents various congestion control schemes for transport protocols together with a number of metrics for the evaluation of these protocols with special emphasis on fairness-related measures. The paper analyzes some properties of the TFRC algorithm, which provides applications with congestion control mechanisms that can be applied for streaming media. Streaming media is a delivery method of media content, which is simultaneously received by, and displayed to, the end-user while it is being delivered by the provider.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
