This research focuses on constructing efficient overlay trees to optimize traffic and latency from an event source to subscribers in a distributed Internet environment. We examine two models: Model 1 restricts subscribers from relaying traffic using a restricted Steiner tree and presents a new approximation algorithm with a factor of 4.1. Model 2 allows subscribers to relay traffic, applying existing strategies for the minimum Steiner tree problem. Additionally, we address load balancing events where machines act as dispatchers or servers, exploring variations of optimization objectives.

Constructing Efficient Overlays • Problem formulation • Given a set of subscribers and a set of machines, distributed in the Internet • Construct an overlay tree to minimize the traffic/latency from the event source to the subscribers
Constructing Efficient Overlays (Cont.) • Model 1 • Subscribers cannot relay traffic • Restricted steiner tree • Developed a new approximation algorithm with a factor of 4.1 • Model 2 (p2p) • Subscribers can relay traffic • Minimum steiner tree problem • Apply existing approximation algorithms
Load Balancing events • Given a set of machines • Machine i can handle Di rectangles as a dispatcher or Si rectangles as a server • Problem: • Which set of machines are servers, and which set of machines aredispatcher? • How to assign server machines to dispatcher machines? • Objective function min(max sj/Sj or dj/Dj) D D D S S S S S
Four Variations of the Problem • Configured or not • Whether each machine is already configured to be a dispatcher or a server • Unique or not • Whether each server can only be assigned to a unique dispatcher or multiple dispatchers
Approaches Optimization objective: min(max sj/Sj or dj/Dj)
