transmission of multimedia data supporting adaptive QoS over
the Internet and we investigate its behaviour using simulation.
There are two major issues that have to be considered when
designing and implementing such a mechanism, the fairness,
which is the ability to cope with receiver heterogeneity, and the
adaptation schemes. The proposed mechanism uses a friendly to
the network users congestion control policy to control the
transmission of the data. We evaluate the adaptive multicast
transmission mechanism through a number of simulations in
order to examine its behaviour to a heterogeneous group of
receivers and its behaviour against TCP and UDP data streams.
Main conclusion of the simulation was that the proposed
mechanism has friendly behaviour against the dominant traffic
types of today’s Internet and treats a heterogeneous group of
receivers with fairness.1 aBouras, Christos1 aGkamas, Apostolos1 aStamos, Kostas1 aKaraliotas, A  uhttp://telematics.upatras.gr/telematics/publications/behaviour-investigation-using-simulation-redundant-multicast-transmission-supporting?language=el
