One of the important trends is that the Internet will be used to transfer content on more and more massive scale. Collaborative distribution techniques such as swarming and parallel download have been invented and effectively applied to end-user file-sharing or media-streaming applications, but mostly for improving end-user performance objectives. In this paper, we consider the issues that arise from...
We consider a two-tier content distribution system for distributing massive content, consisting of an infrastructure content distribution network (CDN) and a large number of ordinary clients. The nodes of the infrastructure network form a structured, distributed-hash-table-based (DHT) peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Each file is first placed in the CDN, and possibly, is replicated among the infrastructure...
Leader election is one of the most frequently encountered problems in peer-to-peer applications. However, choosing the best node is not a trivial problem and the obtained performance can dramatically vary depending on it. Another issue is what to measure in the evaluation and comparison of different leader election schemes. It is not clear yet what metrics best capture the performance objective. In...
