Abstract:Introducing location-awareness in overlay networks allows for a higher efficiency of the offered services, e.g., shorter search times or higher throughput. This is especially important for business applications supported by overlays. In this paper, we will illustrate how such an increase in efficiency causes congestion in an otherwise well-dimensioned locality-aware overlay using a Distributed Hash Table (DHT). In particular, we will use a Vertical Handover (VHO) support system using a Pastry substrate as an e… Show more
