Wired Geometric Routing

Overview Routing substrates for overlay networks are an important building block for large distributed applications. Many existing substrates are based on a random identifier space and therefore do not respect node locality when routing data. This can lead to lower performance for locality-sensitive applications, such as web caching, distributed gaming, and resource discovery. This paper examines the problem of building a locality-aware routing substrate on top of a locality-based coordinate system, where the distance between coordinates approximates network latencies.
