Abstract
In this chapter we derive a mathematic model that analyses the performance of some generic reliable multicast protocols. Two error recovery mechanisms have been considered, namely a pure ARQ and a hybrid ARQ with ideal erasure codes. The novelty of our model dwells on its message-based approach rather than packet based calculations, as usually found in the literature. The model matches well with those reliable multicast protocols with aggregated acknowledgments for file and message deliveries. The expressions derived cater for receivers with non-identical channel loss distributions. The dynamics of the multicast group size are also studied. Simulations were conducted and the results agree well with the analysis.
