Impact of Congestion on the Stability of Multicast Trees in Cumulative Layered Multicast Schemes
This paper studies the impact of congestion on the stability of a multicast(one-to-many)tree in the context of cumulative layered multicast congestion control mechanism.A stability factor is defined to evaluate and quantify this impact.For obtaining the general expression of the stability factor
a simple statistical model is developed.Simulation results shows that even in the case of lower link-marking probability
the stability of multicast tree is significantly more sensitive to network congestion when dependency between different links becomes smaller
indicating that more links will leave the tree when congestion occurs.
