Receiver Initiated Just-In-Time Tree Adaptation for Rich Media Distribution
Overview Application-level multicast networks overlaid over unicast IP networks are increasingly gaining in importance. While there have been several proposals for overlay multicast networks, very few of them focus on the stringent requirements of real-time applications such as streaming media. The authors propose an efficient overlay application layer multicast infrastructure for multimedia real-time applications based on a combination of landmark clustering and RTT measurements. The goal is to balance the network-oriented goals of building an efficient multicast tree with the application-oriented goals of providing good QoS with minimal disruptions. The goal is to achieve dynamic tree reconfiguration with very low switching delay such that end users do not perceive any application performance degradation.
