Sphere is a highly efficient, serf-organizing and robust multicast protocol overlayed on the Internet. The main contrihutions of this paper are twofold. First, Sphere organizes the control topology of overlay network in two directions： horizontal and vertical. The horizontal meshes are used to locate and organize hosts in tracks, and the vertical meshes are. used to manage the data paths between tracks. Second, Sphere balances stress and stretch of the overlay network by assigning hosts into different tracks and clusters. This structure distributes stress on the muhicast trees uniformly, and meantime makes path stretch as small as possible. Simulations results show that Sphere can support multicast with large group size and has good performance on organizing meshes and building data delivery trees.展开更多

Burst and inter-arrival time distributions are simulated under time-based and length-based assembly schemes. Self-similar traffic Hurst parameter is compared through R/S and V/T plot. Finally three self-similar traffic generating methods are given. Simulation resuhs demonstrate that, muhi-source traffic increases self-similar degree, however after assembly, time-based scheme can decrease self similar degree, and aggregated burst size is close to Gaussian distribution. Length-based method has no effects on the self-similarity of input traffic. RMD is fit for study of burst network with large self-similarity.展开更多
