Abstract
The representative scheme in which a small set of multicast group members a re selected as representatives to represent congested areas and hence suppr ess feedback from other receivers is an effective way of avoiding feedback implosion. Two algorithms used for selecting group members as representativ es are further investigated. It is shown through simulation that the algori thm that selects representatives using the loss probability observed at the receivers is more effective in reducing the feedback returned.
