Large-Scale Pay-As-You-Watch for Unicast and Multicast Communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of pay-as-you-watch services over unicast and multicast communications. For each communication model, we present two solutions, non-verifiable and verifiable, depending on the existence or non-existence of trust between the source and the receiver(s). In verifiable schemes, the source obtains a proof of correct reception by the receiver(s); in non-verifiable schemes, receiver non-repudiation is not guaranteed, so there must be a trust relationship between source and receiver(s). While solutions for unicast pay-as-you-watch can be based on existing technologies, novel algorithms based on aggregation and multisignatures are needed and presented here to overcome implosion in multicast pay-as-you-watch.

A profitable multicast business model
Multicast is an efficient paradigm for transmitting data from a sender to a group of receivers. Multicast incurs lower network bandwidth and end–system costs than broadcast to all receivers or multiple unicasts to individual receivers. One of the main impediments in wide scale deployment of multicast is lack of a good business model. Any technology needs a good business model to succeed. Each o...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Topology-sensitive Subgroup Communication Mechanism in Large-scale Multicast Applications
Abundant content, data type and diverse members’ interests naturally lead to preference heterogeneity within a multicast session requiring frequent communication within subgroups of members sharing common interests/requirements. In this paper, we propose a topology-sensitive subgroup communication (TSC) mechanism to support efficient subgroup communications in large-scale multicast applications...
متن کاملOverlay subgroup communication in large-scale multicast applications
In the paper, we consider a preference heterogeneity problem in large-scale multicast applications. Abundant content, data type and diverse members’ interests naturally lead to preference heterogeneity within a multicast session requiring frequent communication within subgroups of members sharing common interests/requirements. In this paper, we take an overlay approach which builds topology-sen...
متن کاملExploiting parallelism in the design of peer-to-peer overlays
Many peer-to-peer overlay operations are inherently parallel and this parallelism can be exploited by using multi-destination multicast routing, resulting in significant message reduction in the underlying network. We propose criteria for assessing when multicast routing can effectively be used, and compare multi-destination multicast and host group multicast using these criteria. We show that ...
متن کاملA Proposal for A Scalable Internet Multicast Architecture
We propose a new network and system architecture for multicast in the Internet. Our main objectives are to find a cost-effective way to scale to a large number of multicast groups whose members are geographically dispersed; and to enable small and less capable devices to participate in group communications. In order to preserve the efficiency of data distribution gained by multicast, while avoi...
