Performance modelling of peer-to-peer routing

No Comments
Idris A. Rai, Andrew Brampton, Andrew MacQuire, and Laurent Mathy. In proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (HOTP2P'07) We propose several models based on discrete-time Markov chains for the analysis of Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs). Specifically, we examine the Pastry routing protocol, as well as a Stealth DHT adaptation of Pastry to compute ...
