Description
Peer-assisted content distribution systems can be
characterized by two important properties: first, content is
distributed to the consumers using the resources of other
consumers; second, participation in the system and
contribution to the system's resources is voluntary.
Peer-assisted content distribution is best known due to the
popularity of peer-to-peer file-sharing systems, but it is
also promising for streaming content delivery, as well as it
is the underlying principle of delay tolerant networking. In
this talk we will discuss the challenges of peer-assisted
content distribution systems with special focus on streaming
content delivery and delay tolerant networks, and we will
present some recent analytical results on the performance of
these systems.
