A content propagation metric for efficient content distribution

ECDP: Efficient Content Distribution Protocol

In this paper we present ECDP, an efficient incentive based prioritized content distribution protocol. In ECDP content which originates from some servers or peers is first distributed to some users (peers). As soon as the content reaches some of these peers, other peers can get the content either from the servers or any of the peers whichever gives the lowest per packet price and highest throug...

Efficient Large Scale Content Distribution

This paper considers the problem of supporting high-bandwidth, scalable application level multicast. It provides a formal treatment of the problem which takes into consideration network distances. It presents the Julia locality-aware content dissemination scheme, a highly efficient and fast method whose distribution is both time-aware and proximity-aware. A for mal comparison of Julia with seve...

Efficient Content Distribution with Managed Swarms

AntFarm: Efficient Content Distribution with Managed Swarms

This paper describes Antfarm, a content distribution system based on managed swarms. A managed swarm couples peer-to-peer data exchange with a coordinator that directs bandwidth allocation at each peer. Antfarm achieves high throughput by viewing content distribution as a global optimization problem, where the goal is to minimize download latencies for participants subject to bandwidth constrai...
