A Specification-to-Deployment Architecture for Overlay Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Implementing overlay software is non-trivial and time-consuming. Current projects build overlays or intermediate frameworks on top of low-level networking abstractions. This leads to far reaching incompatibilities between overlay implementations, tight coupling to frameworks and limited adaptability to different deployment environments. We present a new approach to rapid overlay implementation that combines a modelling framework for overlay design with a dynamic component architecture for run-time adaptation. It is the first architecture in the overlay area that tackles the complete design process from modelling, through code generation and implementation down to adaptive deployment. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this architecture, we describe the step-by-step procedure of designing an overlay and deploying it within an adaptive middleware framework.

A model driven architecture for adaptable overlay networks
Recent years have witnessed a remarkable spread of interest in decentralised infrastructures for Internet services. Peer-to-Peer systems and overlay networks have given rise to a major paradigm shift and to novel challenges in distributed systems research. Numerous projects from several research communities and commercial organisations have started building and deploying their own systems. Adop...
متن کاملMOSAIC: Multiple Overlay Selection and Intelligent Composition
Today, the most effective mechanism for remedying shortcomings of the Internet, or augmenting it with new networking capabilities, is to develop and deploy a new overlay network. This leads to the problem of multiple networking infrastructures, each with independent advantages, and each developed in isolation. A greatly preferable solution is to have a single infrastructure under which new over...

Ad-hoc networks are an emerging technology with immense potential. Recent advances in high-tech sensors, communication devices and microprocessors has given rise to a growing commercial interest in ad-hoc networks for inter-vehicular communications. Most of the research in inter-vehicular communication systems has focused on driver safety, accident reporting and multi-hop routing. There is an e...
متن کاملData plane efficiency of a hybrid multicast approach for content aware networks
Multicast communications has regained research interest due to the deployment of real-time services to large groups of users. While IP multicast has not been deployed due to unsolved problems, a combined use of both IP multicast and overlay multicast may lead to a more efficient solution. The work presented herein consists on the analysis of the data plane efficiency of the multicast architectu...
متن کاملReal-time Collaborative Environments and the Grid
We describe some of the issues inherent in running real-time collaborative environments in heterogeneous and fragmented networks, showing how these issues are only partially addressed by both IETF and Grid standards. We propose a new architecture, based on a peer-to-peer overlay IP network to abstract the complexity and heterogeneity of the underlying network. Our architecture is realised as a ...
