Scalable adaptive group communication on bi-directional shared prefix trees
Efficient group communication within the Internet has been implemented by
multicast. Unfortunately, its global deployment is missing. Nevertheless,
emerging and progressively establishing popular applications, like IPTV or
large-scale social video chats, require an economical data distribution
throughout the Internet. To overcome the limitations of multicast deployment,
we introduce and analyze BIDIR-SAM, the rest structured overlay multicast
scheme based on bi-directional shared prefix trees. BIDIR-SAM admits
predictable costs growing logarithmically with increasing group size. We also
present a broadcast approach for DHT-enabled P2P networks. Both schemes are
integrated in a standard compliant hybrid group communication architecture,
bridging the gap between overlay and underlay as well as between inter- and
intra-domain multicast
