— Many network applications are based on a group communications model where one party sends messages to a large number of authorized recipients and/or receives messages from mult...
Abstract— Application-layer multicast (ALM, or overlay multicast) has been proposed to overcome limitations in IP multicast. While much measurement work (such as delay or connect...
—We develop a simple stochastic fluid model that seeks to expose the fundamental characteristics and limitations of P2P streaming systems. This model accounts for many of the es...
— To discover an efficient fair sending rate for a flow, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) saturates the bottleneck link and its buffer until the router discards a packet. Su...
Abstract— This paper investigates the reliability of applicationlevel multicast based on a distributed hash table (DHT) in a highly dynamic network. Using a node residual lifetim...
