Sustainable peer-based structure for content delivery networks
Aparup Khatua, Nabendu Chaki · 2012
This study explores how peer-to-peer based dynamic network structure can increase the efficiency of content delivery networks using agent based modeling. Existing literature suggests that virtual organization based model will be the prevalent model in near future for efficient content delivery. Following this we explore how interactions between multiple nodes influence the overall network structure by simulating in Netlogo modeling tool. We modeled different real life scenarios like collaboration probability, new servers joining the network, changing intra-network size etc. in our simulation. We observed high-level interactions can be achieved through virtual organization model and furthermore we found high propensity to collaborate with local-small players enhance the efficiency of the network.
