An Analysis of Speeding Multicast by Acknowledgment Reduction Technique (SMART) with Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Links - A Method of Types Approach

Abstract

In current data networks there are many applications that support mulitcast from a single source to multiple receivers, such as conferencing, online gaming, and video streaming. Among these are those applications that require reliable multicast, such as reliable bulk data transfer applications that impose strict reliability and a strict reliability and a received file is considered invalid even if one bit is received incorrectly.
