Abstract

In this paper, we propose M-coop, a scalable,incrementally-deployable, peer-to-peer measurement infrastructureto estimate distance metrics (such as latency,hop count, etc.) between any pair of IP addresses on theInternet. The idea behind M-coop is to have a network ofnodes, each of which measures to a small set of peers. Whenan estimate between two addresses is required, several ofthese measurements are composed to give the final estimate.Since M-coop is a dynamic peer-to-peer system, we provideand evaluate heuristics for node joins and failures. By conductingexperiments on the Internet, we show that our approachhas performance similar to other schemes such asIDMaps [1].
