Informed content delivery across adaptive overlay networks
2002
Proceedings of the 2002 conference on Applications, technologies, architectures, and protocols for computer communications - SIGCOMM '02
Overlay networks have emerged as a powerful and highly flexible method for delivering content. We study how to optimize throughput of large transfers across richly connected, adaptive overlay networks, focusing on the potential of collaborative transfers between peers to supplement ongoing downloads. First, we make the case for an erasure-resilient encoding of the content. Using the digital fountain encoding approach, end hosts can efficiently reconstruct the original content of size from a
