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.
