Abstract
In conventional multicast communication, the source carries a single conversation
with all destination nodes. If a node on the path to any destination becomes congested,
the throughput to all destinations is reduced, thus treating some destination nodes
unfairly. We consider a window­controlled multipoint connection and study the use of
destination set grouping, where the destination set can be split into disjoint subgroups
