This paper develops analytic models that characterize the behavior of on-demand stored media content delivery using BitTorrent-like protocols. The models capture the effects of di...

We investigate performance bounds of P2P systems by application of the law of bandwidth conservation. This approach is quite general and allows us to consider various sharing syst...
Network coordinates provide a mechanism for selecting and placing servers efficiently in a large distributed system. This approach works well as long as the coordinates continue ...
One of the main reasons of the recent success of peer to peer (P2P) file sharing systems such as BitTorrent is its built-in tit-for-tat mechanism. In this paper, we model the band...
In this paper, we show through detailed simulations that BitTorrent can be used to assist a server or content distribution network (CDN) for large-scale streaming delivery. Speci...
