A study of the performance potential of DHT-based overlays
Sushant Jain, Ratul Mahajan, David J. Wetherall · 2003
We use simulation to study whether overlays based on the recent distributed hash tables (DHTs) have the potential to deliver performance comparable to that of overlays based on measurements. Our work is motivated by the use of DHTs for services such as multicast, which is already targeted by measurement-based overlays; there is currently little understanding of how the two approaches compare at scales where both are viable. We compare three...
