Abstract
Abstract IP multicast has been proved to be unfeasible for deployment, Application Layer Multicast (ALM) Based on end multicast system is practical and more scalable than IP multicast in Internet. In this paper, an ALM protocol called Scalable multicast for High Definition streaming media (SHD) is proposed in which end to end transmission capability is fully cultivated for HD media transmission without increasing much control overhead. Similar to the transmission style of BiTtorrent, hosts only forward part of data piece according to the available bandwidth that improves the usage of bandwidth greatly. On the other hand, some novel strategies are adopted to overcome the disadvantages of BiTtorrent protocol in streaming media transmission. Data transmission between hosts is implemented in many-one transmission style in Hierarchical architecture in most circumstances. Simulations implemented on Internet-like topology indicate that SHD achieves low link stress, end to end latency and stability.
