Abstract

In this paper we propose a radical solution to data hosting and delivery for the Internet of the future. The current data delivery architecture is "network centric", with content stored in data centers connected directly to Internet backbones. This approach has multiple drawbacks among which complexity of deploying data centers, power consumption, and lack of scalability are the most critical. We propose a totally innovative and orthogonal approach to traditional data centers, through what we call "nano" data centers, which are deployed in boxes at the edge of the network (e.g., in home gateways, set-top-boxes, etc.) and accessed using a new peer-to-peer communication infrastructure. Unlike traditional peer-to-peer clients, however, our nano data centers operate under a common management authority, e.g., the ISP who installs and maintains the set-top-boxes, and can thus cooperate more effectively and achieve a higher aggregate performance. Nano data centers are, therefore, better suited for providing guaranteed quality to new emerging applications such as online gaming, interactive IPTV and VoD, and user generated content

Push-pull incentive-based P2P live media streaming system

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing has become increasingly popular, accounting for as much as 70% of Internet traffic by some estimates. Recently, we have been witnessing the emergence of a new class of popular P2P applications, namely, P2P audio and video ...
An adaptive buffer-map exchange mechanism for pull-based peer-to-peer video-on-demand streaming systems

Unlike P2P live video streaming in which all the peers in a channel watch a video with tiny differences in viewing points, in P2P video on demand (VoD) streaming systems, neighbor peers may watch the same video with more different viewing points; ...
Scalable Live Streaming Service Based on Interoverlay Optimization

In order to provide scalable live-streaming services, we propose an Inter-Overlay Optimization scheme, IOO. Instead of selecting better paths in the same overlay, IOO constructs efficient paths using peers in different overlays, so as to (i) improve ...
