Abstract

Now day’s computer network is an essential part of our life. Day by day, there is a high increment in the uses of computer network applications such email, bloggers, internet group, forums, conference, youtube and online TV. The exponential increment in video applications traffic, there increases challenges of computer network and it faces various problems like shortage of memory, link failure, slow processor, time out etc. These problems may lead to network congestion. Multicast is efficient system which handles the video traffic but it also suffers with congestion problem due to design vulnerability. Many researchers are working in this burning issue and they provided various solutions such as source based, receiver based and hybrid one. In this paper, we propose an efficient multicast congestion control approach which suggests the efficient joining, leaving operation based on adaptive throughput. The simulated results show that proposed scheme provides better throughput at various parameters.
