Well adapted to the loosely coupled nature of distributed interaction in large-scale
applications, the publish/subscribe communication paradigm has recently received …

One of the most striking properties of the Internet is its flexibility to accommodate features it
was not conceived for. Among the most significant examples, in this survey we consider the …

Hash tables-which map" keys" onto" values"-are an essential building block in modern
software systems. We believe a similar functionality would be equally valuable to large …

We present Tapestry, a peer-to-peer overlay routing infrastructure offering efficient, scalable,
location-independent routing of messages directly to nearby copies of an object or service …

This paper presents Scribe, a scalable application-level multicast infrastructure. Scribe
supports large numbers of groups, with a potentially large number of members per group …

In tree-based multicast systems, a relatively small number of interior nodes carry the load of
forwarding multicast messages. This works well when the interior nodes are highly …

We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for
low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based …

The conventional wisdom has been that IP is the natural protocol layer for implementing
multicast related functionality. However, ten years after its initial proposal, IP Multicast is still …

The main challenge in P2P computing is to design and implement a robust and scalable
distributed system composed of inexpensive, individually unreliable computers in unrelated …

The conventional wisdom has been that Internet protocol (IP) is the natural protocol layer for
implementing multicast related functionality. However, more than a decade after its initial …
