| Abstract | In this paper, we examine the problem of large-volume data dissemination via overlay networks. A natural way to maximize the throughput of an overlay multicast session is to split the traffic and feed them into multiple trees. While in single-tree solutions, bandwidth of leaf nodes may remain largely under-utilized, multi-tree solutions increase the chances for a node to contribute its bandwidth by being a relaying node in at least one of the trees. We study the following problems: (1) What is the maximum capacity multi-tree solutions can exploit from overlay networks? (2) When multiple sessions compete within the same network, what is the relationship of two contradictory goals: achieving fairness and maximizing overall throughput? (3) What is the impact of IP routing in achieving at constraining the optimal performance of overlay multicast.We extend the multicommodity flow model to the case of overlay data dissemination, where each commodity is associated with an overlay session, rather than the traditional source-destination pair. We first prove that the problem is solvable in polynomial time, then propose an ε-approximation algorithm, assuming that each commodity can be split in arbitrary ways. The solution to this problem establishes the theoretical upper bound of overall throughput that any multi-tree solution could reach. We then study the same problem with the restriction that each commodity can only be split and fed into a limited number of trees. A randomized rounding algorithm and an online tree-construction algorithm are presented. All these algorithms are evaluated by extensive simulations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
