TL;DR
A novel scheme for distributing MPEG-coded video over a best-effort heterogeneous network, such as the Internet, using smart retransmissions and adaptive playback point and dynamic adjustment of video reception rate at the receivers using a hierarchical control mechanism is proposed.
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel scheme for distributing MPEG-coded video over a best-effort heterogeneous network, such as the Internet. The key contributions of the proposed scheme are: error recovery using smart retransmissions and adaptive playback point; and dynamic adjustment of video reception rate at the receivers using a hierarchical control mechanism. This paper focuses on the first feature. The protocols are developed on the Internet and the performance of the system has been measured on the Mbone. Some results from the measurement are presented and evaluated in this paper.

Receiver-driven layered multicast

The RLM protocol is described, its performance is evaluated with a preliminary simulation study that characterizes user-perceived quality by assessing loss rates over multiple time scales, and the implementation of a software-based Internet video codec is discussed.
ACM Transactions on Computer SystemsMulticast routing in datagram internetworks and extended LANs
1,179 Citations1990S. Deering, David R. Cheriton
Extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms are specified to support low-delay datagram multicasting beyond a single LAN and how the use of multicast scope control and hierarchical multicast routing allows the multicast service to scale up to large internetworks is discussed.
IEEE/ACM Transactions on NetworkingThe PIM architecture for wide-area multicast routing
653 Citations1996S. Deering, Deborah Estrin +4 more
The protocol independent multicast (PIM) architecture maintains the traditional IP multicast service model of receiver-initiated membership, supports both shared and source-specific (shortest-path) distribution trees, and uses soft-state mechanisms to adapt to underlying network conditions and group dynamics.

Since lost packets are recovered by local retransmissions as opposed to retransmission from the original sender, end-to-end latency is significantly reduced, and the overall throughput is improved as well.
Core based trees (CBT)

This paper shows how the current IP multicast architecture scales poorly, and presents a multicast protocol based on a new scalable architecture that is low-cost, relatively simple, and efficient.
Adaptive playout mechanisms for packetized audio applications in wide-area networks

The authors investigate the performance of four different algorithms for adaptively adjusting the playout delay of audio packets in an interactive packet-audio terminal application, and indicate that an adaptive algorithm which explicitly adjusts to the sharp, spike-like increases in packet delay can achieve a lower rate of lost packets.
RMTP: a reliable multicast transport protocol
431 Citations2002John C. Lin, S. Paul
RMTP provides sequenced, lossless delivery of bulk data from one sender to a group of receivers by using a packet-based selective repeat retransmission scheme, in which each acknowledgment packet carries a sequence number and a bitmap.

Scalable feedback control for multicast video distribution in the Internet

The mechanism uses a novel probing mechanism to solicit feedback information in a scalable manner and to estimate the number of receivers and separates the congestion signal from the congestion control algorithm, so as to cope with heterogeneous networks.
On the use of destination set grouping to improve fairness in multicast video distribution
148 Citations2002Shun Yan Cheung, Mostafa Ammar +1 more
This paper proposes and implements a system that spans the spectrum represented by the two extremes of the spectrum, called destination set grouping (DSG), and is shown to improve fairness significantly at a small bandwidth cost.

95 Citations1996S. Pejhan, Moshe Schwartz +1 more
The counter-intuitive conclusion is reached that the optimum scheme for error control in multicast protocols geared toward real-time, multimedia applications is to immediately retransmit packets-preferably multicast-upon reception of a NACK from any receiver.

Simulation experiments reveal that the concept of extended control time mechanism for jitter control in order to provide error recovery through retransmissions in the case of packet losses in the network is clearly feasible within the end-to-end delay constraints in packet voice transmissions.
