The primary focus of this paper is the design of efficient algorithm for the calculation of solution to the placement of proxies for performance optimization in hierarchical reliable multicast (HRM). Proxy is introduced to localize feedback and retransmission, and therefore significantly depress traffic redundancy and reduce latency. Placement of proxies is a key issue in HRM. This paper theoretically analyzes the performance improvement made by placement of proxies and presents a new approach to optimal partition of a subtree for performance o...
