Abstract

Nodes in mesh overlay multicast system don't have fixed parent-children relationship like that in trees and form neighbors. But in data-driven mesh and based on pulling method, for each packet, it still follows a certain tree and the parent-children relationship does exist. While having the powerful peers stay closer to the source may improve the performance, we make the peers of high out bandwidth preempt the neighbor of the peers near the source. In our paper, we describe the delivery trees set and construct the main distribution tree, which carries most of the data, to construct the signaling path and relay priority preemption messages to reduce the cost. We model the neighbor relationship to decide which neighbor to be preempted based on the capacity of the node and the contribution it makes to the probed nodes. Our simulations show that after a temporary reduction in performance at the beginning, which for the optimization chaos of optimization procedure, the system converges to a stable state and gains better performance, especially for playback delay, and meanwhile the control overhead is in reasonable range.
