Mesh-based data delivery over multiple tree-shaped routes in P2P overlay network

In this paper, we introduce a new mesh-based approach for data delivery which is organized over multiple tree-shaped core routes. Given that both tree and mesh approaches have their own strong points, we simply combine them together. We evaluate the proposal through ns-2 simulator. The simulation results demonstrate that our approach can provide higher average received quality and has acceptable data delivery delay when compared with a single tree method. We also show that, over a static overlay, the push-based data delivery on mesh can provide the received quality close to pull-based data delivery method with less latency. As well, it has lower control overhead than the pull-based method when the peer number is large.
