Preliminary implementation of point-to-multi-point multicast transmission based on cross-layer QoS and network coding

This paper presents a possible application of the cross-layer QoS mechanism for network coding in Future Internet. The idea is that the congestion control could be solved for core networks if a network coding-based point-to-multipoint transmission is implemented with quality of service information collected in a bottom-up approach. The implemented testbed combines a real-time demonstrator monitoring transfer rates, one-way delays and BERs at substrate network with network coding simulated in OMNET++ at virtual network level.
