Abstract
Example embodiments provide apparatus, systems and methods to optimize a multicasting operation used to transmit data packets in a communication network. A data store stores at least one variable parameter associated with the multicasting operation. A communication transceiver multicasts a data packet to a plurality of nodes in a communication network using the stored variable parameter and receives, from a node of the plurality of nodes, a retransmitted version of the multicast data packet, the retransmitted data packet comprising feedback data. At least one processor coupled to the data store and the communication transceiver determines, using the feedback data, that the variable parameter requires modification to optimize the multicasting operation for the network, modifies the variable parameter in response to the feedback data; and stores the modified variable parameter in the data store.
