Hi folks, We have just submitted a draft that proposes a new topology plug-in for RELOAD. This draft is a merge of two earlier drafts, "A Self-tuning DHT for RELOAD" (draft-maenpaa-p2psip-self-tuning-00) and "A Load Balancing Mechanism for RELOAD" (draft-saumitra-p2psip-loadbalance-00).
The draft defines a new topology plug-in for RELOAD that is more appropriate for real world large scale overlays. This topology plug-in implements three important functionalities that allow RELOAD to operate under real world constraints. First, it includes a load balancing algorithm that specifies efficient allocation of load to different nodes in the network. Second, the document describes robust techniques for stabilization of fingers and successors and specifies self tuning mechanisms that allow dynamic and automatic adjustment of parameters needed for these advanced techniques in the topology plug-in. Finally, it specifies a locality aware finger selection algorithm that reduces average lookup latency.

Filename: draft-maenpaa-p2psip-topologyplugin Revision: 00 Title: A Topology Plug-in for REsource LOcation And Discovery Creation_date: 2009-07-06 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 43 Abstract: REsource LOcation And Discovery (RELOAD) is a peer-to-peer signaling protocol that can be used to maintain an overlay network, and to store data in and retrieve data from the overlay. This document defines a new topology plug-in for RELOAD that is more appropriate for real world large scale overlays. This topology plug-in implements three important functionalities that allow RELOAD to operate under real world constraints. First, it includes a load balancing algorithm that specifies efficient allocation of load to different nodes in the network. Second, the document describes robust techniques for stabilization of fingers and successors and specifies self tuning mechanisms that allow dynamic and automatic adjustment of parameters needed for these advanced techniques in the topology plug-in. Finally, it specifies a locality aware finger selection algorithm that reduces average lookup latency. ------->8------- _______________________________________________ P2PSIP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/p2psip
