RSS peer-to-peerCognitive Packet Networks: QoS and Performance
White Paper This paper presents the "Cognitive Packet Network (CPN)" architecture in which intelligent peer-to-peer routing is carried out with the help of "Smart packets" based on best-effort QoS goals. Reliability, security, scalability and QoS (Quality-of... [18 Jul 2008]
GlueQoS: Middleware to Sweeten Quality-of-Service Policy Interactions
White Paper However, in modern distributed, component-based systems supporting emerging application areas such as service-oriented e-business (where web services are viewed as components) and Peer-to-Peer computing, this is difficult. [17 Jul 2008]
Combining Flexibility and Scalability in a Peer-to-Peer Publish/Subscribe System
White Paper This paper present a novel content-based publish/subscribe architecture based on peer-to-peer matching trees. The content-based publish/subscribe model has been adopted by many services to deliver data between distributed users based on application... [11 Jul 2008]
Routing Indices for Peer-to-Peer Systems
White Paper Finding information in a peer-to-peer system currently requires either a costly and vulnerable central index, or flooding the network with queries. This paper introduce the concept of Routing Indices (RIs), which allow nodes to forward queries to... [11 Jul 2008]
VON: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Network for Virtual Environments
White Paper The paper identifies an emerging research direction that applies Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks to realize more scalable and affordable NVEs. The central issue for P2P-based NVE (P2P-NVE) systems is to correctly and efficiently maintain the topology... [11 Jul 2008]
Routing Networks for Distributed Hash Tables
White Paper Routing topologies for distributed hashing in peer-to-peer networks are classified into two categories: deterministic and randomized. Using this technique, classical parallel interconnection networks can be adapted to handle the dynamic nature of... [11 Jul 2008]
Replication in Bandwidth-Symmetric BitTorrent Networks
White Paper The popular and well-known BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol offers fast file distribution in a highly scalable way. The paper aims to improve the performance of such networks with a novel mechanism for replication using so-called replicators, which... [11 Jul 2008]
Bandwidth Requirement and State Consistency in Three Multiplayer Game Architectures
White Paper Typically, multiplayer games are organized based on a Client-Server (CS) or a Peer-to-Peer (PP) architecture. This paper examines these architectures from two perspectives: bandwidth requirement at the server and players, and latency to resolve any... [11 Jul 2008]
Latency- and Bandwidth-Minimizing Optimal Failure Detectors
White Paper Multi-node failure detectors, where the detector is tasked with monitoring N other nodes, play a critical role in overlay networks and peer-to-peer systems. In such networks, failures need to be detected quickly and with low overhead. [11 Jul 2008]
An Amortized Tit-for-Tat Protocol for Exchanging Bandwidth Instead of Content in P2P Networks
White Paper As a consequence, a peer can actively participate in the system only if it shares content that is of immediate interest to other peers. Bandwidth, in contrast to content, is independent of peer interests and so can be exchanged between any two peers. [11 Jul 2008]
PCI Express and Advanced Switching: Evolutionary Path to Building Next Generation Interconnects
White Paper Advanced Switching further boosts the capabilities of PCI Express by allowing a rich application space to be covered that includes multiprocessing and peer-to-peer communication. With processor and memory technologies pushing the performance limit... [11 Jul 2008]
Explaining Routing Performance in Disruption Tolerant Networks
White Paper Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) attempt to deliver messages despite a frequently disconnected link layer (e.g.due to peer mobility, limited communication range, and power management limitations). Many routing algorithms for both traditional and... [11 Jul 2008]
Peer-to-Peer Connectivity Using Firewall and Network Address Translator Traversal
White Paper Network Address Translators (NATs) and Firewalls, also collectively called middleboxes, create problems for establishing connections in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks: They limit the outbound connections to the Internet, do not allow incoming... [10 Jul 2008]
Locality-Aware and Churn-Resilient Load Balancing Algorithms in Structured Peer-to-Peer Networks
White Paper Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. But they are unable to consider proximity of the nodes simultaneously. [10 Jul 2008]
N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN
White Paper This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of peer-to-peer virtual private network that can allow users to overcome some of these limitations. The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude... [10 Jul 2008]
