Reducing TIV interference in network coordinate systems

Zhuo Chen, Yibo Zhu, Yang Chen, Beixing Deng, Xing Li · 2010

The network coordinate (NC) systems, which are scalable in estimating the latencies between network hosts, are significantly limited by the Triangle Inequality Violations (TIVs). Previously, two-layer Vivaldi systems like Pharos were proposed to remedy the impact of TIV. In our recent research, we built a new system, Tarantula, which deals with a larger portion of existing TIVs. Our simulation demonstrates that this new system achieves a higher estimation accuracy than the two-layer systems do.
