The Case for Resilient Overlay Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper makes the case for Resilient Overlay Networks (RONs), an application-level routing and packet forwarding service that gives end-hosts and applications the ability to take advantage of network paths that traditional Internet routing cannot make use of, thereby improving their end-to-end reliability and performance. Using RON, nodes participating in a distributed Internet application configure themselves into an overlay network and cooperatively forward packets for each other. Each RON node monitors the quality of the links in the underlying Internet and propagates this information to the other nodes; this enables a RON to detect and react to path failures within several seconds rather than several minutes, and allows it to select application-specific paths based on performance. We argue that RON has the potential to substantially improve the resilience of distributed Internet applications to path outages and sustained overload.

Modeling of Resilient Modulus of Asphalt Concrete Containing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement using Feed-Forward and Generalized Regression Neural Networks
Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the waste materials that highway agencies promote to use in new construction or rehabilitation of highways pavement. Since the use of RAP can affect the resilient modulus and other structural properties of flexible pavement layers, this paper aims to employ two different artificial neural network (ANN) models for modeling and evaluating the effects of ...
متن کاملNetwork Operator Independent Resilient Overlay for Mission Critical Applications
This paper proposes a Resilient Overlay for Mission Critical Applications (ROMCA); a novel operator-independent overlay architecture providing a resilient and reliable service across wide-area networks. Resilience is achieved by combining centralized topology construction control and distributed dynamic mapping of paths onto the overlay topology according to network conditions. ROMCA can mitiga...
متن کاملLoad Balancing in Peer-to-Peer Systems
Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. Thus, a load balancing mechanism is an indispensable part of a structured P2P overlay network for high performance. The rapid development of P2P systems has posed challeng...
متن کاملNetwork Architectures for Live Peer-to-Peer Media Streaming
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) media streaming networks, motivated by the huge success of P2P file downloading networks, have recently attracted a lot of research interest. However, it is challenging to design P2P media streaming networks because of the stringent time constraints on the delivered media streams, which require more efficient and resilient overlay architectures. In this paper, we focus on liv...
