Large-scale Internet applications can benefit from an ability to predict round-trip times to
other hosts without having to contact them first. Explicit measurements are often unattractive …

Vivaldi is a distributed algorithm that assigns synthetic coordinates to internet hosts, so that
the Euclidean distance between two hosts' coordinates predicts the network latency …

Concurrent with recent theoretical interest in the problem of metric embedding, a growing
body of research in the networking community has studied the distance matrix defined by …

This paper addresses the problem of churn—the continuous process of node arrival and
departure—in distributed hash tables (DHTs). We demonstrate through experiment that …

DHash is a new system that harnesses the storage and network resources of computers
distributed across the Internet by providing a wide-area storage service, DHash. DHash …

This thesis presents a new design and implementation of the DHash distributed hash table
based on erasure encoding. This design is both more robust and more efficient than the …

Distributed hash tables have been proposed as a way to simplify the construction of large-
scale distributed applications (eg [1, 6]). DHTs are completely decentralized systems that …

This paper explains the co-ordinate based location system built for XenoSearch, a resource
discovery system in the XenoServer Open Platform. The system is builds on the work of …

ANOTACE V této diplomové práci se zabývám problematikou určení pozice počítače v síti
Internet. Potřeba určité lokalizace počítačů vznikla v posledních několika letech z důvodu …

Many large-scale internet application take use of network coordinate systems to represent
the network distance relationships among internet hosts. NC systems offer an efficient and …
