Abstract:
We present the Caching-Enhanced Scalable Reliable Multicast (CESRM)
protocol. CESRM augments the Scalable Reliable Multicast (SRM)
protocol with a caching-based expedited recovery scheme.
CESRM exploits the packet loss locality occurring in IP multicast
transmissions in order to expeditiously recover from losses in the manner
in which recent losses were recovered. Trace-driven simulations show
that CESRM reduces the average recovery latency of SRM by roughly 50%
and, moreover, drastically reduces the overhead in terms of recovery
traffic and control messages.
