A Study on the flow control for reliable IP multicast of the ATM network

ATM 망에서 신뢰성 있는 IP 멀티캐스트를 위한 흐름제어에 관한 연구

Since the IP multicast was proposed, there have been many research works on reliable multicast protocols［1］. In multicast communication, many reliable multicast schemes were studied in order to overcome packet losses in the network. However the fact that packets are lost in the underlying networks but the solutions are sought in the end hosts makes the search for solutions difficult. If routers can identify packets before dropped from congestion, the routers can initiate recovery process. recovery scheme by routers is proposed. This scheme is much faster than by sender-initiated or receiver-initiated recovery and latency is smaller.
