Fast Content Distribution on Datacenter Networks
Shakir James, Patrick Crowley · 2011
Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications distribute large files fast. That makes them popular on the Internet and has motivated their use on data center networks. On data center networks, however, these Internet applications waste bandwidth. To fully use available bandwidth, we propose the P2P copy (PCP) application. Results with a prototype show that PCP reduces content distribution times by an order of magnitude.
