Understanding Multiple-tree-based Overlay Multicast

چکیده
The two main sources of impairment in overlay multicast systems are packet losses and node churn. Yet, little is known about their effects on the data distribution performance. In this paper we develop an analytical model of a large class of peer-to-peer streaming architectures based on decomposition and non-linear recurrence relations. We analyze the stability properties of these systems using fixed-point analysis. We derive bounds on the probability that nodes in the overlay receive an arbitrary packet of the stream. Based on the model, we explain the effects of the overlay’s size, node heterogeneity, loss correlations and node churn on the overlay’s performance. We show how and under what conditions overlays can benefit from the use of error control solutions, prioritization and taxation schemes. Our findings lead us to the definition of an overlay structure with improved stability properties. Based on our results, we identify the components that are needed to achieve good data distribution performance via overlay multicast.

متن کاملModeling Loss and Delay in Multi-tree-based Overlay Multicast
In this paper we propose an analytical model to evaluate the end-to-end loss and delay characteristics for live multicast streaming. We consider multiple-tree architectures and push based transmission. We give an asymptotic bound on the performance of large overlays, and present a necessary condition for the overlay to be stable. Based on the model we show how the overlay’s loss characteristics...
متن کاملSurvey of Overlay Multicast Technology
IP Multicast is a technique that can transmit one copy of data traffic to multiple receivers at one time. Because it can greatly save the network bandwidth consumption as well as many applications are inherently multicast-based, it has been a research focus since the idea was proposed. However, because of many reasons, such as management, security, inter-domain routing,etc, it has not been wide...
متن کاملHostCast: a new overlay multicasting protocol
Though the merits of IP-based multicast is undeniable, the deployment of IP multicast has met many difficulties. In the past several years, lots of research work have been done on overlay multicast (end-system multicast, application-layer multicast). In this paper, we propose a new overlay multicast protocol: HostCast. Besides constructing a data delivery tree, HostCast uses a simple and effici...
