IP-multicast is a bandwidth efficient transmission mechanism for group communications. Reliability in IP-multicast, however, poses a set of significant challenges. To address the ...
Peer-to-peer networks can be divided into structured and unstructured based on their overlay topologies. In reality, unstructured p2p networks with superpeers have proved their cap...
Recently, overlay networks have been proposed to address the problem of scalability in providing video-on-demand (VoD) service. However, from the perspective of service providing,...
Abstract-- We introduce in this paper CHESS, an applicationaware space for enhanced scalable services in overlay networks. In this new space, the proximity of peers is determined a...
—The current peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution systems are constricted by their simple on-demand content discovery mechanism. The utility of these systems can be greatly en...
