TFMCC是一个基于等式的多播拥塞控制机制,它扩展了TFRC协议,从单播到多播领域。设计TFMCC的关键挑战在于扩展的往返时间(RTT)测量、appropriate feedback suppression,以确保控制环中的反馈延迟不影响竞争流的公平性。
A major contribution is the feedback mechanism, the key component of end-to-end multicast congestion control schemes. Authors improve upon the well-known approach of using exponentially weighted random timers by biasing feedback in favor of low-rate receivers while still preventing a response implosion. They also evaluate the design using simulation, and demonstrate that TFMCC is both TCP-friendly and scales well to multicast groups with thousands of receivers.
