Algorithms for Selecting Multiple Mirror Sites for Parallel Download
Yu Cai, C. Edward Chow · 2007
Summary In this paper, we present a mathematical model that describes the problem of parallel download from multiple mirror sites. Based on the model, we present algorithms for selecting the best subset of mirror sites for parallel download. The versions of brutal force algorithms and genetic algorithms are implemented. Performance of these algorithms on the simulated network topology as well as a real-world network topology is presented.
