Virtual Source/Virtual Destination (VS/VD) Explicit Rate Feedback Congestion Control for Multicast ABR Services in ATM Networks

摘要

Recently we have studied the performance of the VS/VD behavior for two binary feedback congestion control schemes, FECN and BECN, when they are applied to multicast ABR services [1]. It is shown that the VS/VD schemes allevi- ate the problems of consolidation noise and consolidation delay, which are two major design issues in multicast congestion con- trol. To complement [1], we further explore the VS/VD behav- ior for the explicit rate feedback control scheme in this letter.
