Congestion control, Multicast, PacketPair Layered Multicasting, Deficit Round Robin Queues.
The packet pair mechanism has been used to allow a source to infer the available bandwidth. The mechanism was later extended to include multicast traffic via a mechanism called Packet Pair Layered Multicasting (PLM). However, the PLM has a drawback of assuming a fair schedule paradigm. That is all routers must implement a Fair Queueing (FQ) policy, which may not be cost effective. This paper shows how this assumption of FQ can be relaxed using a deficit round robin queue. The performance of the enhanced PLM is evaluated using simulation and the results are presented in the paper.
