Principles of Locality-Aware Networks for Locating Nearest Copies of Data

Overview Building overlay network tools for locating information in a manner that exhibits locality-awareness is crucial for the viability of large internets. It means that costs are proportional to the actual distance of interacting parties, and in many cases, that load may be contained locally. This paper presents a step-by-step decomposition of several locality-aware networks, that support distributed content-based location services. It explains their common principles and their variations with simple and clear analysis.
