Reserach Project

Next-Generation Networks Integrating CDN, P2P, and WMN

This research project aims at constructing a basis for massive and global information sharing and dissemination by integrating content distribution networks (CDN) and peer-to-peer networks (P2P) together with adaptive network technologies. We advocate an adaptive P2P technology that optimizes its structure for load balancing, and its open CDN utilization for content distribution and dissemination.

Key features are:

• scalable
• adaptive
• autonomous
• decentralized

• topology transition
• self reorganization
• DNS-based redirection
