Abstract
Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is a method of signalling intended to inform end-system(s) of congestion in at least one router along delivery path. In IP networks, congestion build-up is usually detected using active queue management (e.g. RED) and clear indication of congestion can be transferred through the network using ECN bit (the CE codepoint in the IP header). In the paper, ECN-capable multicast multimedia delivery is presented. Described system combines ECN-capability with receiver-driven layered transmission. Experiments show that the use of ECN capable transmission allows to avoid the two main disadvantages of layered transmission scheme: lack of fairness and unexpected packet losses in basic layer.
