In this work, we propose a distributed rate allocation algorithm that minimizes the average decoding delay for multimedia clients in inter-session network coding systems. We consider a scenario where the users are organized in a mesh network and each user ...

The capacity scaling laws of two overlaid networks are investigated, which are located in the same area sharing the same wireless resources with different priorities. The primary network can be regarded as an existing communication system operated in a lic ...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Internet. The key idea is to divide the file into many equally-sized parts and then ...
The performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks depends critically on the good connectivity of the overlay topology. In this paper we study P2P networks for content distribution (such as Avalanche) that use randomized network coding techniques. The basic id ...
In this paper we present an empirical study of a workload gathered by crawling the eDonkey network - a dominant peer-to-peer file sharing system - for over 50 days. We first confirm the presence of some known features, in particular the prevalence of free- ...
Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immun ...
