This document specifies TCP-Friendly Multicast Congestion Control (TFMCC).
TFMCC is a congestion control mechanism for multicast transmissions in a
best-effort Internet environment. It is a single-rate congestion control
scheme, where the sending rate is adapted to the receiver experiencing the
worst network conditions. TFMCC is reasonably fair when competing for
bandwidth with TCP flows and has a relatively low variation of throughput
over time, making it suitable for applications such as streaming media
where a relatively smooth sending rate is of importance.
