In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
The inherent instability and unreliability of peer-to-peer networks introduce several fundamental engineering challenges to multimedia streaming over peer-to-peer networks. First,...
— Host resources (e.g., CPU time and buffer space) in mobile ad hoc networks must be shared between the devices own applications and networking functions, such as routing and pac...
— The performance of wireless data systems has been thoroughly studied in the context of a single base station. In the present paper we analyze networks with several interacting ...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
