Fundamental observations on multicast congestion control in the Internet

Abstract
We study congestion control for one-to-many multicast applications in the Internetand establish a three-way relationship between the choice of regulation parameter (i.e.,rate or window size), the requirement to estimate receiver round trip times, and the typeof fairness that may be accomplished. In particular, we show that in order to provideTCP-compatible fairness in rate-based regulation, receiver round trip times must beknown. However, such a requirement does not exist in...
