Xiaofei Liao,
Basic:
- inter-overlay optimization, resources can join multiple overlays,
Goal:
- (1) improve global resource utilization and distribute traffic to all physical links evenly;
- (2) assign resources based on their locality and delay;
- (3) guarantee streaming service quality by using the nearest peers, even when such peers might belong to different overlays; and
- (4) balance the load among the group members.
Metrics:
- startup delay
- source-to-end delay
- playback continuity
Problem:
- still suffer from long delay and unplanned interruptions, especially when a large number of peers join the network simultaneously.
challenges:
- (1) how to find paths with low delays, including source-to-end delay and startup delay, in a global P2P network;
- (2) how to maintain the service continuity and stability (decreasing the impact of interruption caused by peers leaving);
- (3) how to determine the frequency of optimization operations; and
- (4) how to reduce the control overhead caused by the algorithm.
