Abstract
In this paper, we study the stability problem of an one-to-many multicast tree in the context of cumulative layered multicast system. Especially, “How does the number of links change as the number of users in a group changes when congestion occurs?” First, we introduce a stability index to evaluate and quantify the stability of the tree. Then, we develop a simple statistical model. With this model, we analyze the stability problem for various tree topologies. We observe that a class of trees commonly found in IP multicast has the similar stability when congestion occurs.
