Abstract

The "location-aware" construction of overlay networks requires the identification of nodes that are efficient with respect to network delay and available bandwidth. In this short paper, we propose Highways to create clusters of nodes using a novel "location-aware" method, based on a scalable and distributed network coordinate system. This helps to build overlay routing tables to achieve better proximity accuracy, thus, providing a mechanism to boost performance in application overlay routing.
