Multicast protocols ore developed in order to support group communications efficiently, However. there still exist some issues to be solved for deploy multicast protocol in the public internet. This paper refers problem of existing Reliable Multicast Protocols and redesigns component function, and proposes enhanced reliable multicast transport protocol, This paper proposed a improved multicast transport scheme in NACK based reliable multicast. This scheme is much faster than by sender-initiated or receiver-initiated recovery and latency is smaller. Designed components are implemented in UNIX environment using C programming longuage. Then the protocol was evaluated performance through simulation. As the result, proposed protocol is better than existing protocols in both of transmission delay and packet loss. Especially, proposed protocol in this paper con be used in multicast services needed high reliability.

In this paper, we propose a practical hybrid transport error control scheme to provide SVC video streaming service over error-prone IP networks. Many error control mechanisms for various video coding standards have been proposed in the literature. However, there is little research result which can be practically applicable to the multilayered coding structure of SVC(the scalable extension of H.264/AVC). We present a new hybrid transport error control scheme that efficiently combines layered Forward Error Correction(FEC) and Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) for better packet-loss resilience. In the proposed hybrid error control, we adopt ACK-based ARQ instead of NACK-based ARQ to maximize throughput which is the amount of effective data packets delivered over a physical link per time unit. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid error control scheme, we adopt NIST-Net network emulator which is a general-purpose tool for emulating performance dynamics in IP networks. It is shown by simulations over the NIST-Net that the proposed hybrid error control scheme shows improved packet-loss resilience even with much less number of overhead packets compared to various conventional error control schemes.
