Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of choosing the most adequate rates for the different layers in multicast distribution of multilayered applications. We argue that depending on the type of the application that is being carried out, we face a number of problems to decide what are the most adequate bounds on the parameters to achieve the best global quality. We propose then multi-decision criteria that improve the global aggregated quality of the communication in the multicast session. We consider the quality of the application at the receiver, the bandwidth utilization, and the satisfaction index to measure the combined user/network quality of the communication.
