Highly popular websires can suffer classicrrl congestion collapse because of the abilip of nurgoing 'bursty' data ro congest the server side link. Using the well known and recognized nenvork simulator ns we look ar rhe effect that this congestion collapse has on user perceived performonce (UPP) of a simulated websire.We developed a prorocol overlay for HTTP/I.I and a complementary distribution infrastructure ro nlleviure the eflecrs of this congestion. Our Protocol Hi'TP[PZP), shows promise for increasing the maximum load of websites during rimes of high and wety high websire loadand link contention.In our simulated environment, xTTP(P2P) significantly decreases rhe rime required for users to download the web page they requesr. The prorocol also disrributes rhe redirected trafJic over the network to reduce secondary transient network congestion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
