Abstract

This paper studies the implosion problem in multicast. The result explained in this paper is a part of the work on analyzing the scalability of a reliable multicast protocol. The paper describes a method proposed to determine the backoff time for multicast clients to avoid packet loss due to the implosion problem. The proposed method has been implemented and the output data is shown. The flow of acknowledgment packets from clients to the server has been studied. Random multicast networks are generated and backoff times are calculated in order to show the impact of the implosion problem on the transmission delay in reliable multicast. It is proved by analysis that the backoff interval is proportional to the number of users which is large enough. Linear increase in transmission delay is equivalent to that a reliable multicast protocol fails to work for a large number of users.
