Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Explicit Hale Adjustment (ERA), a new Multi-rate Multicast Congestion Control (MR-MCC) algorithm. Via ERA, the receiver explicitly adjusts its reception rate according to the network conditions using the TCP throughput equation and Packet-pair Probe. The design goals are responsiveness, efficiency in network utilization, scalability and fairness (including inter-protocol fairness, intra-protocol fairness, ultra-session fairness and TCP-friendliness) as well as simple implementation. We have built ERA into a network simulator (ns2) and demonstrate via simulations that the goals are reached.
