    Abstract

    Feedback implosion is one of the crucial issues confronting the scalability of reliable multicast protocols. Generally, there are two ways of solving this feedback implosion problem - timer-based and structure-based approaches [1]. In the timer-based approach, when a receiver needs to send feedback, it multicasts the feedback to all receivers earlier than other receivers, hence suppresses others from returning feedback in responding to the same event. The structure-based approach depends on intermediate network elements to consolidate feedback arising from the same event. It hence significantly reduces the number of feedback arriving at the sender from a single event. In this paper we present an effective end-to-end NACKs suppression algorithm which could solve the problem caused by correlative packet loss and independent packet loss among receivers.
