P2P live streaming systems have been widely adopted nowadays. In such systems, flash crowds still remains a big challenge, which often occur when an enormous number of users suddenly arrive to view a newly released program. In a flash crowd scenario, users often suffer from a long startup delay and a high failure rate. In this paper, we propose a topology-construction-based algorithm to alleviate...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) live streaming systems are becoming popular and are imposing a heavy burden on Internet Services Providers (ISPs). Proxy caching has been shown to be an effective means of reducing operation costs for ISPs. Although many caching algorithms for conventional web applications and P2P file sharing systems have been proposed and deployed, there have been few works on the caching for...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are generating a large portion of the total Internet traffic and imposing a heavy burden on Internet Services Providers (ISPs). Proxy caching for P2P traffic is an effective means of reducing network usage, thereby reducing operation costs for ISPs. Proxy cache storage design has a significant impact on ISPs. While there are several works on how to optimally design cache...
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) is a "walkie-talkie" like voice communication service over mobile wireless networks, based on Voice over IP (VoIP) technology. The traditional PoC defined in the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) specification is a centralized architecture. In this architecture, servers need to be deployed for the PoC service to work and be widely available, presenting a substantial...
Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) is a one-to-one or one-to-many Push-To-Talk (PTT) service designed to work over the cellular network. In the PTT, a participant may speak as soon as he/she has obtained the permission through pushing a “talk” button. The typical telephone setup delay is avoided. In the traditional floor control protocol defined in the Open Mobile Alliance standard (FCP-OMA) for PoC,...
Hybrid content distribution network (HCDN) makes use of the highly complementary advantages of conventional CDN (content distribution network) and pure P2P (peer-to-peer). In HCDN, clients can concurrently retrieve content from both CDN and P2P networks. In this paper, service differentiation is formulated as a constraint optimization problem, in which two critical factors are taken into consideration:...
The role of connection admission control (CAC) for an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch is to determine, given a set of signaled traffic descriptors and requested quality of service (QoS) contracts, whether a new connection should be accepted or rejected. CAC bases the decision to accept a new connection on the current state of the switch, which must be able to meet the requested QoS of the...
