—Although IP Multicast is an effective network primitive for best-effort, large-scale, multi-point communication, many multicast applications such as shared whiteboards, multi-pl...
Abstract— We consider reliable multicast in overlay networks where nodes have finite-size buffers and are subject to failures. We address issues of end-to-end reliability and th...
— The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial proposal,...
—This paper presents Respondent-Driven Sampling (RDS) as a promising technique to derive unbiased estimates of node properties in unstructured overlay networks such as Gnutella. ...

— Recent proposals in multicast overlay construction have demonstrated the importance of exploiting underlying network topology. However, these topology-aware proposals often rel...
