Multicast routing for multimedia collaborative applications

Multicast error control for multimedia collaborative applications

“…In measuring network bandwidth overhead, we treat two types of routing techniques: broadcast and prune, and core based tree (CBT) [11]. We assume that the tree is dense (destinations' distribution is dense in the tree) in broadcast and prune and sparse in CBT.…”

“…Typically, A Multimedia collaborative application consists of several components that may vary in their error control requirements [11]. Moreover, in a heterogeneous environment, not all end systems and their network connections to the source have the same capabilities.…”
