Intelligent Dependability Services for Overlay Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Application-level overlays have emerged as a useful means of offering network services that are not supported by the underlying physical network. Most overlays employ proprietary dependability mechanisms to render them more resilient to node failure; but the use of proprietary approaches leads to duplication of effort during development and adds design complexity. In this paper we propose generic dependability services which simplify the design of overlays. Our services are fully decentralized and are configurable to take advantage of current network conditions, which can enable us to make better repairs following failures.

Overlay Networks: Overview, Applications and Challenges
In recent years, overlay networks have rapidly evolved and emerged as a promising platform to deploy new applications and services in the Internet, becoming widely used for content delivery and file sharing services. This is because they provide effective and reliable services by creating a virtual topology on top of existing networks. However, new network environments and network services requ...
متن کاملOverlay Networks to Support Internet Emergency Preparedness Services
Today’s best-effort Internet is not able to provide the variety, quality, and dependability of services required by Internet emergency preparedness (Ieprep) users. This is due to the current Internet infrastructure, addressing scheme, routing algorithms, and other historical reasons. Recently, various forms of overlay networks have been built on top of one or several existing network architectu...

متن کاملA Generic Approach to Dependability in Overlay Networks
Overlay networks are virtual communication structures that are logically “laid over” underlying hosting networks such as the Internet. They are implemented by deploying application-level topology maintenance and routing functionality at strategic places in the hosting network [1, 2]. In terms of dependability, most overlays offer proprietary “self-repair” functionality to recover from situation...
