Optimal Client-Server Assignment for Internet Distributed Systems

Optimal Client-Server Assignment for Internet Distributed Systems ABSTRACT: We investigate an underlying mathematical model and algorithms for optimizing the performance of a class of distributed systems over the Internet. Such a system consists of a large number of clients who communicate with each other indirectly via a number of intermediate servers. Optimizing the overall performance […]


IP-Geolocation Mapping for Moderately Connected Internet Regions

IP-Geolocation Mapping for Moderately Connected Internet Regions ABSTRACT: Most IP-geolocation mapping schemes take delay-measurement approach, based on the assumption of a strong correlation between networking delay and geographical distance between the targeted client and the landmarks. In this paper, however, we investigate a large region of moderately connected Internet and find the delay-distance correlation is […]
