<p>A system and method for using a window mechanism to control transmission of a multicast in a computer network to curb congestion. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a packet monitor that tracks, for each receiver of the multicast, unacknowledged packets transmitted to each receiver and (2) a multicast manager, associated with the packet monitor, that controls transmission of further packets of the multicast to prevent the unacknowledged packets transmitted to any of each receiver from exceeding a maximum number associated with each receiver.</p> |
