Abstract :
Fairness emerges as an important research issue in overlay multicast because spreading the multicasting load evenly among participants can eliminate potential traffic hot spots, thus improving the system´s quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we analyze FairOM and compare it with non-FairOM approaches from two aspects: tree height and number of sessions that can be supported, which measure FairOM from a single-session´s and multiple-session´s point of view, respectively
