Latency Gradated Overlays

We propose a new genre of overlay network for disseminating information from popular but resource constrained sources. We call this communication primitive as Latency Gradated Overlay (LagOver), where information consumers self-organize themselves according to their individual resource constraints and the latency they are willing to tolerate in receiving the information from the source. Such a communication primitive finds immediate use in applications like RSS feeds aggregation.

Publications

The concept of LagOver is introduced in an ICDCS 2007 paper, along with heuristic algorithms to build LagOver and performance evaluation of the constructed LagOver. Here is an extended version.
