ECN-capable Multicast Multimedia Delivery

Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) transfers a clear indication of congestion through the network and, therefore, gives a possibility to construct closed-loop control of effective transmission rate. In the paper, a simulation model of ECN-capable multicast multimedia delivery in ns-2 environment is discussed. The model includes complete ECN-capable network infrastructure (sender, receivers, network nodes). Special emphasis is placed on the core of the system, the ECN-capable RTP protocol. Simulation results confirm credibility of the model.
