Abstract
This paper presents a evaluation on existing multicast congestion control schemes. We evaluate several recently proposed schemes to summarize state of the art in this field. Solutions to typical problems in multicast congestion control, especially those in layered multicast, such as layer granularity, loss path multiplicity and receiver coordination, are also studied to motivate further research.
