Seeing the Big Picture: A Corporate Guide to Better Decisions through IT
White Paper This information can come from a variety of sources: opinions from peers and colleagues; a personal sense of intuition or business judgment; or data derived internally or externally to the organization. [17 Jul 2008]
The Education Sector Rates Importance of IP Telephony Features, Management and Applications
White Paper This report presents the results of that survey and is meant to serve as a benchmarking tool for IT managers in education who seek information about how their peers are managing their telecommunications systems. [14 Jul 2008]
Computerworld Report - Enterprises Rate Importance of IP Telephony Features, Management, and Applications
White Paper Download this Shoretel-sponsored white paper to find out how your peers are handling their IP telephony solutions and what you need to consider for your organization's IPT deployment. The goal of Computerworld's March 2005 online survey was to... [14 Jul 2008]
MaxProp: Routing for Vehicle-Based Disruption-Tolerant Networks
White Paper Routing in such environments is difficult because peers have little information about the state of the partitioned network and transfer opportunities between peers are of limited duration. MaxProp is based on prioritizing both the schedule of... [11 Jul 2008]
An Amortized Tit-for-Tat Protocol for Exchanging Bandwidth Instead of Content in P2P Networks
White Paper The principle of the incentive mechanisms in current content sharing P2P networks such as BitTorrent is to have peers exchange content of mutual interest. As a consequence, a peer can actively participate in the system only if it shares content... [11 Jul 2008]
Explaining Routing Performance in Disruption Tolerant Networks
White Paper Many routing algorithms for both traditional and ad hoc networks require a complete and contemporaneous path of peers from source to destination. Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs) attempt to deliver messages despite a frequently disconnected link... [11 Jul 2008]
VON: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Network for Virtual Environments
White Paper The central issue for P2P-based NVE (P2P-NVE) systems is to correctly and efficiently maintain the topology of all participating peers by solving the neighbor discovery problem. The scalability of large-scale Networked Virtual Environments (NVEs... [11 Jul 2008]
Combining Flexibility and Scalability in a Peer-to-Peer Publish/Subscribe System
White Paper The system achieves scalability by partitioning the responsibility of event matching to self-organized peers while allowing customizable matching functionalities. The content-based publish/subscribe model has been adopted by many services to... [11 Jul 2008]
Techniques for Efficient Routing and Load Balancing in Content-Addressable Networks
White Paper DHTs usually require O(logN) routing information per peer and provide routing in O(logN) hops, where N is the number of peers in the system. This paper describes and evaluates several schemes for efficient routing in CAN by keeping additional... [10 Jul 2008]
N2N: A Layer Two Peer-to-Peer VPN
White Paper The Internet was originally designed as a flat data network delivering a multitude of protocols and services between equal peers. Currently, after an explosive growth fostered by enormous and heterogeneous economic interests, it has become a... [10 Jul 2008]
Uncoordinated Load Balancing and Congestion Games in P2P Systems
White Paper In P2P systems, users often have many choices of peers from whom to download their data. Each user cares primarily about its own response time, which depends on how many other users also choose that same peer. [10 Jul 2008]
Incentive, Resilience and Load Balancing in Multicasting Through Clustered de Bruijn Overlay Network
White Paper In that context peers should have incentive to cooperate. This paper considers the problem of multicasting a stream of packets in a large scale peer-to-peer environment. It presents PrefixStream, an algorithm that addresses this problem by using... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Structured P2P Systems
White Paper Besides, P2P systems can be highly heterogeneous, i.e.they may consist of peers that range from old desktops behind modem lines to powerful servers connected to the Internet through high-bandwidth lines. [10 Jul 2008]
A Parameter-Free Load Balancing Mechanism for P2P Networks
White Paper The first has to do with heterogeneous peer selection mechanisms that accommodate differences in capacities of different peers. Random peer selection is commonly used to provide load-balancing in decentralized P2P systems. [10 Jul 2008]
