Scalable Routing Easy as PIE: a Practical Isometric Embedding Protocol (Technical Report)
We present PIE, a scalable routing scheme that achieves 100% packet delivery
and low path stretch. It is easy to implement in a distributed fashion and
works well when costs are associated to links. Scalability is achieved by using
virtual coordinates in a space of concise dimensionality, which enables greedy
routing based only on local knowledge. PIE is a general routing scheme, meaning
that it works on any graph. We focus however on the Internet, where routing
scalability is an urgent concern. We show analytically and by using simulation
that the scheme scales extremely well on Internet-like graphs. In addition, its
geometric nature allows it to react efficiently to topological changes or
failures by finding new paths in the network at no cost, yielding better
delivery ratios than standard algorithms. The proposed routing scheme needs an
amount of memory polylogarithmic in the size of the network and requires only
local communication between the nodes. Although each node constructs its
coordinates and routes packets locally, the path stretch remains extremely low,
even lower than for centralized or less scalable state-of-the-art algorithms:
PIE always finds short paths and often enough finds the shortest paths.Comment: This work has been previously published in IEEE ICNP'11. The present
document contains an additional optional mechanism, presented in Section
III-D, to further improve performance by using route asymmetry. It also
contains new simulation result

The essence of P2P: A reference architecture for overlay networks
The success of the P2P idea has created a huge diversity
of approaches, among which overlay networks, for example,
Gnutella, Kazaa, Chord, Pastry, Tapestry, P-Grid, or DKS,
have received specific attention from both developers and
researchers. A wide variety of algorithms, data structures,
and architectures have been proposed. The terminologies
and abstractions used, however, have become quite inconsistent since the P2P paradigm has attracted people from many different communities, e.g., networking, databases, distributed systems, graph theory, complexity theory, biology, etc. In this paper we propose a reference model for overlay networks which is capable of modeling different approaches in this domain in a generic manner. It is intended to allow researchers and users to assess the properties of concrete systems, to establish a common vocabulary for scientific discussion, to facilitate the qualitative comparison of the systems, and to serve as the basis for defining a standardized API to make overlay networks interoperable
