Optimization-based congestion control for multicast communications.

Optimization-based congestion control for multicast communications.

This article outlines an approach for multicast congestion control based on an economic model that has been successfully applied to unicast congestion control. In this model, congestion signals are interpreted as prices and congestion-controlled sessions as utility maximizing agents. A naive extensi...
