We investigate the scalability of feedback for satellite broadcasts. We propose a new method of probabilistic feedback based on random exponentially distributed timers.
By analysis and simulation is shown that feedback implosion is avoided with good latency performance for up to 10 6 receivers. The mechanism is robust against the loss of fedback messages. We apply the feedback mechanism to reliable broadcast and compare it to existing timer-based eedback schemes. The results show that our mechanism leads to faster NAKs for the same performance in NAK suppression. Our mechanism is scalable, the amount of state at every group member is independent of the number of receivers. Our mechanism adapts to the number of receivers
and leads therefore to a constant performance for implosion avoidance and feedback latency.
