  1. Shun-Yun Hu syhu@yahoo.com Adaptive Computing and Network Lab Dept. of CSIE, National Central University 2006/11/14 Peer-to-Peer Content Delivery for X3D Earth

  2. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU X3D Earth Scalability • X3D Earth is an ambitious project • “The key challenge is scalability” -- Don Brutzman, “X3D Earth Proposal” • A simple math: • 80 kbps (10kb) x 100,000 users = 1 GB / s

  3. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Scalability Analysis Non-scalable systems vs. Scalable systems Resource limit

  4. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Potential Solutions • Data compression & progressive transmissions • Doable and necessary • Server load still increases for each additional client • Content Delivery Network (CDN) e.g. Akamai • High infrastructure costs • Adoptable only by big players • Any alternatives?

  5. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU overlapped visibility = shared contents

  6. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Promises of P2P • Scalable • Growing resources, decentralized • Affordable • Commodity hardware • Examples: • File-sharing: Kazza (3 M users, 5,000 TB / day) • VoIP: Skype (3.5 ~ 4M users any moment)

  7. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Challenges of P2P 3D streaming • Limited client-side bandwidth • Typical end-system is asymmetric (small upload) • BitTorrent achieves 30KB/s ~ 50KB/s avg. download • NAT-traversal • NAT-boxes are very common • Practical solutions exist • Peer and piece selection • Find the right peers to connect, and pieces to obtain • Research still required for efficient solutions

  8. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Our Capabilities • P2P-based virtual environments research • Voronoi-based Overlay Network (VON) • IEEE Network publication (July 06) • P2P-based 3D streaming research • Flowing Level-of-Details (FLoD) • Initial results soon to release as technical report

  9. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Simulations (server bandwidth use)

  10. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Simulations (client bandwidth use)

  11. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Conclusion • Scalability is a core X3D Earth challenge • P2P is the most sensible delivery choice • Related issues are practically addressable

  12. Adaptive Computing and Networking Lab, CSIE, NCU Final remarks People in this business tend to fixate on the technology side of things. The technology side is actually really easy. You can predict what's going to work technologically and what's not going to work. The thing that's hard — and the thing that most people don't want to admit is the hard part — is the social experiment. What is it that people want? -- James Gosling • Make X3D Earth the social experiment platformfor virtual worlds / environments • Multi-user is easily extensible with P2P

INFOCOM, 2005 • Skype • Kuan-Ta Chen et al. “Quantifying Skype User Satisfaction,” Proc. SIGCOMM 2006 • Voronoi-based Overlay Network • Shun-Yun Hu et al. “VON- a scalable peer-to-peer network for virtual environments,” IEEE Network, 2006
