The paper that proposed XCP (Explicit Control Protocol). The idea about XCP is to get routers involved in the congestion control so that efficiency and fairness can be maintained more precisely.

Luebban et al (2009) Fast Rerouting for IP Multicast in Managed IPTV Networks (IWQoS)
Assume IP network is 2-connected, one can tune the IP link weights such that the multicast routing path and the unicast routing path between any two routers are failure disjoint, provided that the unicast routing is shortest path based and the multicast routing is PIM-based. Because of the disjoint, a...
