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

Over the Internet today, computing and communications environments are significantly more
complex and chaotic than classical distributed systems, lacking any centralized organization …

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 …

This paper presents DONet, a data-driven overlay network for live media streaming. The
core operations in DONet are very simple: every node periodically exchanges data …

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 …

In today's chaotic network, data and services are mobile and replicated widely for
availability, durability, and locality. Components within this infrastructure interact in rich and …

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 …
