| Abstract | This study designs and implements flow control mechanism for reliable multicast over
unidirectional link. The current reliable multicast protocols are not designed for asymmetric
bandwidth network, such as unidirectional link, which causes the congestion at the return path.
The study therefore proposes the RMU (Reliable Multicast for Unidirectional Link), which is
based on the sender-based approach, to provide the reliable bulk data transfer in the multicast
environment over unidirectional links. The sender sends monitoring packets in order to
monitor the network or receiver status and adjusts the transmission rates using the receiver's
reception results. To improve the bandwidth consumption, the RMU uses the selective repeat
approach, which retransmits only the lost packets. Furthermore, the feedback implosion
problem can be solved by the backoff and polling mechanism. |
