Abstract

P2P systems have emerged as a promising technology to support the dissemination of information on the Internet, including multimedia streams with quality of service requirements. This work presents Thicket, a protocol for building and maintaining multiple spanning trees over an overlay network, providing a dissemination scheme that promotes load distribution across all participants and fault-tolerance. The proposed design was evaluated using simulations and a prototype implemented in Java. The Peersim was used to simulate a network composed of 10.000 nodes and the prototype was tested on the PlanetLab infrastructure.
