Abstract

Client/Server-based DVE approaches incur scalability and load balancing problems while addressing massive number of users. In order to mitigate these problems P2P overlays are proposed for content provision and management issues instead. However, content provision and management in a distributed manner is much more complicated and requires an exhaustive study of overlay network properties. In order to investigate which kinds of overlay networks suit the requirements stated by DVEs at best, we have performed a comparative evaluation of the deterministic DHT-based Tapestry overlay and the nondeterministic prefix-tree-based P-Grid overlay considering their data location performance and construction cost. In this paper we discuss these evaluation results and exemplarily show how AoI management and content provision can be realized by using the P-Grid overlay.
