PeerWise Discovery and Negotiation of Faster Paths.
Cristian Lumezanu, Dave Levin, Neil T. Spring · 2007
Routing overlays have the potential to circumvent Internet pathologies to construct faster or more reliable paths. We suggest that overlay routing protocols have yet to become ubiquitous because they do not incorporate mechanisms for finding and negotiating with mutually advantageous peers: nodes in the overlay that can benefit equally from each other. We show that mutually advantageous peers exist in the Internet and that one-hop detour routing is sufficient for a latencyreducing overlay. We then simulate such an overlay construction process to show that it is efficient and scalable.
