Super Generation Network Coding for Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution Networks

1 Network Coding for Content Distribution and Multimedia Streaming in Peer-to-Peer Networks

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have been one of the most promising platforms to realize the potential of network coding, since end hosts (referred to as peers) at the edge of the Internet have abundant computational resources with modern processors. In this chapter, we take a journey into the application world of network coding in P2P networks, with a focus on two important applications: content d...

Network Coder Placement for Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution

Network coding has been shown to achieve optimal multicast throughput, yet at an expensive computation cost: every node in the network has to code. Interested in minimizing resource consumption of network coding while maintaining its performance, in this paper, we propose a practical network coder placement algorithm which achieves comparable content distribution time as network coding, and at ...

A Trust Model for Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution Networks

Trust Based Content Distribution for Peer-To- Peer Overlay Networks

In peer-to-peer content distribution the lack of a central authority makes authentication difficult. Without authentication, adversary nodes can spoof identity and falsify messages in the overlay. This enables malicious nodes to launch man-in-the-middle or denial-of-service attacks. In this paper, we present a trust based content distribution for peer-to-peer overlay networks, which is built on...

Efficient Content Distribution in semi-decentralized Peer-to-Peer-Networks

Sharing content such as scientific papers or multimedia data in locally distributed organisations or between a group of co-operating users still poses a couple of problems. Existing systems like centralized client-server solutions and distributed peer-to-peer applications both suffer from their characteristic disadvantages. Centralized systems on the one hand have advantages in their good manag...
