Hierarchical name system based on hybrid P2P for multimedia networks
Multimedia networks distribute multimedia resources to end users who can enjoy movie, music or photo via this platform. The name system is one of the most important elements in multimedia networks, for it defines how to name a resource and how to find it. Borrowing the idea of data-centric networking, this paper describes an approach which achieves the name system design criterion. In naming, a combination of three entities is used to achieve security, scalability, and flexibility. In name resolution, a three-layer structure is proposed to achieve precise and semantic resolutions. Then replication and cache scheme is proposed, and retrieval latency is analyzed. Numerical simulation shows the performance of designed name system.
