چکیده

The selfish behavior of the users in the overlay multicast networks can lead to degradation of the performance. In this paper, we target the mechanism design for the overlay networks based on the monopoly auction economies. In our proposed auction mechanism, the bandwidth of the service offered by the origin servers can be thought of as commodity. In this auction, the sellers are either the origin servers or the peers who forward the content to their downstream peers. Also, the corresponding downstream peers of each seller play the role of buyers who are referred to as bidders. Each bidder submits a sealed bid to its corresponding seller. The high bidder wins and pays its bid for the service. By theoretical and experimental analysis, we prove that the proposed auction mechanism achieves performance improvements in the overlay network.

Strategic behavior modeling of multi-service overlay multicast networks based on auction mechanism design

Since the users of overlay multicast networks belong to different administrative domains, they are selfish in nature; resulting in degradation of performance. That is why strategic behavior modeling is a hot topic in the area of the overlay multicast networks. Mechanism design is the most versatile tool for strategic behavior modeling in microeconomics. In this paper, we model the strategic beh...

Effective location-guided overlay multicast in mobile ad hoc networks

Group communication has become increasingly important in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). Current multicast routing protocols in MANET have been shown to incur large overhead due to dynamic network topology. To overcome this problem, there is a trend towards stateless multicast. For example, DDM [1] queries the underlying unicast routing protocol to forward data packets towards members of a mult...

Microeconomics-based resource allocation in overlay networks by using non-strategic behavior modeling

Behavior modeling has recently been investigated for designing self-organizing mechanisms in the context of communication networks in order to exploit the natural selfishness of the users with the goal of maximizing the overall utility. In strategic behavior modeling, the users of the network are assumed to be game players who seek to maximize their utility with taking into account the decision...

Multicast routing and bandwidth dimensioning in overlay networks

Multicast services can be provided either as a basic network service or as an application-layer service. Higher level multicast implementations often provide more sophisticated features, and can provide multicast services at places where no network layer support is available. Overlay multicast networks offer an intermediate option, potentially combining the flexibility and advanced features of ...

Building and Maintaining Overlay Networks for Bandwidth-Demanding Applications

The demands of Internet applications have grown significantly in terms of required resources and types of services. Overlay networks have emerged to accommodate such applications. The performance of an overlay network is, however, highly dependent on its topology; keeping logical links in an overlay network from interfering with each other is crucial in achieving high throughput. In this thesis...
