Maintaining the Ranch topology

Maintaining the Ranch topology

Topology maintenance, or how to handle the possibly concurrent joining and leaving of nodes, is acentral problem for structured peer-to-peer networks. A good topology maintenance protocol should runefficiently, fully maintain the topology, and should not unduly restrict concurrency. In this paper, wepresent such a protocol for a multi-ring topology called Ranch. The protocol is effi...

Topology Control and Maintaining of Graph Invariants

Topology Control is one of the principal issues in network design. We must maintain the topology when there is failure in some nodes or links. In this paper, we present a dynamic algorithm that maintains a tree decomposition representation of a network and supports the following operation : updating the tree length and the tree width of a network whether we delete or insert an arbitrary edge or...

A Virtual Reality Topology Tool for Maintaining Web-sites

We present a Virtual Reality tool for interacting with a web-site, visualising its structure rather than the contents of individual pages. This tool recursively parses interlinked pages located on a given server (to some user specified depth), dynamically generating a 3D representation of the sites structure. Internet icons represent pages conforming to various protocols (http: mailto etc.) vis...
