Abstract
We design a bandwidth and latency aware application layer multicast protocol to stream multimedia
content. This protocol considers network bandwidth heterogeneity, in which the cluster population is
bounded by the capacity of the access point. The cluster range is limited by the end-to-end latency
threshold. This protocol achieves high scalability by distributed and local administration. The applica-
tion layer multicast tree is highly
exible in the sense that the host adjusts its location in the tree based
on its packet receiving behavior. Through the simulation experiment, we demonstrate that our proto-
col achieves low latency, high reliability and high adaptivity, while incurring moderate control message
overhead.
