Abstract

In this paper, we quantify the potential gains of hybrid CDN-P2P for two of the leading CDN companies, Akamai and Limelight. We first develop novel measurement methodology for mapping the topologies of CDN networks. We then consider ISP-friendly P2P distribution schemes which work in conjunction with the CDNs to localize traffic within regions of ISPs. To evaluate these schemes, we use two recent, real-world traces: a video-on-demand trace and a large-scale software update trace. We find that hybrid CDN-P2P can significantly reduce the cost of content distribution, even when peer sharing is localized within ISPs and further localized within regions of ISPs. We conclude that hybrid CDN-P2P distribution can economically satisfy the exponential growth of Internet video content without placing an unacceptable burden on regional ISPs.

P2P as a CDN: A new service model for file sharing

Traditional content distribution networks (CDNs), such as Akamai, replicate content at thousands of servers worldwide in an attempt to bring it closer to end users. Recent years have, however, brought a surge of peer-to-peer (p2p) systems that have ...
Unreeling Xunlei Kankan: Understanding Hybrid CDN-P2P Video-on-Demand Streaming
The hybrid architecture of content distribution network (CDN) and peer to peer (P2P) is promising in providing online streaming media services. In this paper, we conducted a comprehensive measurement study on Kankan, one of the leading VoD streaming ...
Incorporating Clusters into Hybrid P2P Network
ICDS '07: Proceedings of the First International Conference on the Digital Society

Structured P2P network is popular nowadays. However, the network needs reorganized when the peers are joining or leaving. To reduce the performance degradation caused by the reorganizations, we proposed a two-layer hybrid P2P network (HP2P). The upper ...
