SimCon - a simulation and visualization environment for overlay networks and large-scale applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
A substantial number of massive large-scale applications require scalable underlying network topologies. Nowadays structured Peer-to-Peer overlay networks meet these requirements very well. But there is still a need to decide which of these overlay networks is most suitable for providing the best possible performance for a certain application. This paper describes SimCon a simulation environment for overlay networks and large-scale applications. SimCon allows the comparison of different overlay networks with respect to predefined metrics derived from requirements of the considered application. This approach allows determining which overlay network meets the needs of a given application best, which in turn is a great support for developers of large-scale applications.

LPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
متن کاملA Scalable Hybrid Overlay Multicast Architecture for Large-Scale Applications
We propose a two-tier overlay multicast architecture to efficiently support large-scale multicast applications. In this architecture, overlay multicast scheme is adopted in the backbone domain, while application-layer multicast protocol is responsible for the communication between the limited number of end users in access domains. Our two-tier architecture is able to provide efficient resource ...

In this paper, we propose a Two-tier Overlay Multicast Architecture (TOMA) to provide scalable and efficient multicast support for various group communication applications. In TOMA, Multicast Service Overlay Network (MSON) is advocated as the backbone service domain, while end users in the access domains form a number of small clusters, in which an application-layer multicast protocol is used f...

Overlay networks are central to the operation of large-scale decentralized applications, be it Internet-scale P2P systems deployed in the wild or cloud applications running in a controlled—albeit large-scale—environment. A number of custom solutions exist for individual applications, each employing a tailormade mechanism to build and maintain its specific structure. This paper addresses the rol...
