Implementation of Application Layer Multicast in OverSim
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the implementation of Application Layer Multicast (ALM) in OverSim, a simulation framework designed specifically for simulating overlay networks. OverSim builds upon the OMNeT++ discrete event simulator. In addition, the paper presents guidelines for further research work based on reliable and Quality of Service (QoS)-aware multicast overlay networks. This research work is part of a bigger research project, called "Routing in Overlay Networks (ROVER)" which is focused on unicast and multicast routing in overlay networks with QoS guarantees and congestion control facilities on top of existing and future Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks.

Performance Evaluation of a Novel Overlay Multicast Protocol
The demand for high-bandwidth media streaming over the Internet is growing. For large groups of receivers, media streaming places a heavy burden on the network. IP Multicast can alleviate this problem, but it is not widely deployed. In recent years, application layer multicast and overlay multicast have been proposed as alternatives. However, there are still concerns about the efficiency, scala...
متن کاملEnd-Host Distribution in Application-Layer Multicast: Main Issues and Solutions
Application-layer multicast implements the multicast functionality at the application layer. The main goal of application-layer multicast is to construct and maintain efficient distribution structures between end-hosts. In this paper we focus on the implementation of an application-layer multicast distribution algorithm. We observe that the total time required to measure network latency over TC...

متن کاملA Middleware for Implementation and Evaluation of Application Layer Multicast Protocols in Real Environments
In this paper, we propose a new middleware, which supports implementation and evaluation of Application Layer Multicast (ALM in short) protocols in real environments. The middleware provides many functions by which it can largely reduce the time and effort required for ALM protocol prototyping, performance evaluation and tuning. By using those functionalities, we have easily implemented several...
متن کاملA Simulation Framework for Efficient Search in P2p Networks with 8-point Hypercircles
i Abstract This report concerns the implementation of a simulation framework to evaluate an emerging peer-to-peer network topology scheme using 8-point hypercircles, entitled HyperCircle. This topology was proposed in order to alleviate some of the drawbacks of current P2P systems evolving in an uncontrolled manner, such as scalability issues, network overload and long search times. The framewo...
