| Main Objective: The most striking difference between network coded peer]to]peer networks and its classical non]coded counterpart, is that operations carried out by the nodes are not limited to storing and forwarding copies of requested fragments. In fact, they are allowed to combine different fragments using linear combinations, thus mixing and spreading the data among multiple packets. By means of this coding and dissemination approach, we enhance the degree of diversity in the network and thus increase the likelihood that packets received from different sources carry useful data that can be decoded for timely play]out. The main goal of this project is thus to exploit the rich body of network coding theory towards developing highly efficient and robust protocols for content distribution in peer]to]peer networks. The expected outcomes of this research are (a) an in]depth understanding of the applicability of network coding to distributed storage and dissemination with particular focus on the requirements imposed by streaming media, (b) a set of protocols that can be readily used for this task, (c) performance evaluation both analytically and by means of computer simulation. |
