Abstract:
This paper proposes a mechanism for the survivability of multicast streams on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networks, capable to protect the network against failures of source and intermediary nodes. Based on a mixed integer programming model, an algorithm is proposed to build the main multicast tree and the necessary backup trees. The mechanism also includes a recovery protocol that identifies the failures and recovers the multicast stream by activating the appropriate backup tree. The proposed mechanism is evaluated by means of numerical experiments, which demonstrate its effectiveness with respect to the quality of the backup multicast trees, to recovery time and to the bandwidth overhead. It is concluded that the proposed mechanism can improve the reliability of multicast streams on static P2P networks with efficiency and quality.
