Abstract

Introduction of new services on the Internet is alaborious, time-consuming task.Application networks,applications being serviced through multipleinterconnected service nodes disseminated across theInternet for better performance, fault tolerance andavailability, as well are costly to set up.In order toprovide a network-enabled application service, a numberof surrogate servers have to be provisioned.In this paper we propose a mechanisms todynamically deploy an application network: multicastinjection.Currently employed dynamic deploymentmechanisms, SNMP per-node configuration, is acentralized model that can not scale or be as faulttolerant as more distributed mechanisms such asmulticast injection.We perform simulations to compare its efficiency interms of deployment request success ratio, unusedallocation percentage and traffic vs. deploymentresource allocation requests.We show that multicastinjection has a higher success ratio with lower bandwidthconsumption at deployers' locations.
