| Abstract | In a multicast ABR service, a connection is typically restricted to the rate allowed on the bottleneck link in the distribution tree from the source to the set of receivers. Because of this, receivers in the connection can experience inter-receiver unfairness, when the preferred operating rates of the receivers are different. In this paper we explore the issue of improving the inter-receiver fairness in a multicast ABR connection by allowing the connection to operate at a rate higher than what is allowed by the multicast tree's bottleneck link. Since this can result in cell loss to some receivers, we operate with the knowledge of each receiver's application-specific loss tolerance. The multicast connection rate is not allowed to increase beyond the point where the cell loss on a path to a receiver exceeds this receiver's loss tolerance. Based on these ideas we develop an inter-receiver fairness measure and a technique for determining the rate that maximizes this measure. We show possible switch algorithms that can be used to convey the parameters needed to compute the function to the connection's source. In addition we develop a global network measure that helps us assess the effect of increasing inter-receiver fairness on the total network delivered throughput. We also briefly explore improving inter-receiver fairness through the use of multiple virtual circuits to carry traffic for a single multicast session. A set of examples demonstrate the use of the inter-receiver fairness concept in various network scenarios. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
