A new equation based single rate multicast congestion control

Abstract

A computer network is basically the combination of computers and different type of devices that are interfaced by a range of resources i.e. communications channels that provide the communications between users and allow them ability of sharing the resources. Multicasting is used to send the information from one receiver to group of receivers. But it is faced big issue because of additional data demand of receivers which may cause of congestion. There are different approach to control congestion i.e. single rate and multi rate approach. We are considering the single rate approach. TCP friendly multicast congestion control technique (TFMCC) is basically a first single rate multicast congestion control technique. It uses the steady state equation to adjust the throughput. But this mechanism has the problem of feedback implosion. It creates the congestion at the source side. This problem was solved by pragmatic general multicast congestion control (PGMCC) approach. In this paper, we provide an effective mechanism for multicast congestion control which work based on utilization of situation and improve the solution with respect to TFMCC, PGMCC.
