TLDR
In this article, the acceleration of peer-to-peer downloads of content files is discussed, where a tracker performs a condition-based peer selection that is dynamically adjustable, and a further feature relates to the use of enhanced message scheme for communications.Abstract:
The acceleration of peer-to-peer downloads of content files wherein a tracker performs a condition based peer selection that is dynamically adjustable. A further feature relates to the use of enhanced message scheme for communications. One embodiment is a system in a swarm having at least one origin seed capable of at least initially storing the content files with at least one tracker maintaining a list of peers wherein the tracker uses at least one dynamically adjusting peer selection algorithm to generate a condition based peer-list and provides the condition based peer-list to a requesting peer.read more

Automated profiling of resource usage
TL;DR: In this paper, operating profiles for consumers of computing resources may be automatically determined based on an analysis of actual resource usage measurements and other operating metrics and assignment decisions may be made based on the profiles, and computing resources can be reallocated or oversubscribed if the profiles indicate that the consumers are unlikely to fully utilize the resources reserved for them.
Patent
Downloadable security and protection methods and apparatus
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a network security architecture comprising an authentication proxy (AP), provisioning system (MPS), and conditional access system (CAS), which can interface with a trusted authority (TA) for cryptographic element management and CPE/user device authentication.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an approach for provisioning of customer premise equipment (CPE) equipped with a secure microprocessor to receive digital video content by entering unique identification of the CPE at one or more servers located at the head end or other location of a content-based network.
Patent
Methods and apparatus for premises content distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, a renderer authenticates itself with the server, and the server allows content browsing and selection access only to an authorized and authenticated renderer, and a negotiation and exchange protocol comprises messages exchanged between the renderer and server that include one or more of device identification, encryption key exchange, digital certificates and information regarding security package used by each CPE.
Patent
Request routing using network computing components
TL;DR: In this article, a DNS server at a content delivery network service provider obtains a DNS query corresponding to a resource requested from a client computing device and associated with a first resource identifier.

Optimal route selection in a content delivery network
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a routing mechanism, service, or system operable in a distributed networking environment, which enables an edge server operating within a given CDN region to retrieve content (cacheable, non-cacheable and the like) from an origin server more efficiently by selectively routing through the CDN's own nodes.

System and method for receiver-driven streaming in a peer-to-peer network
TL;DR: PeerStreamer as discussed by the authors provides receiver-driven peer-to-peer (P2P) media streaming for loosely coupled P2P networks, where peers in the network perform only simple operations, may cache all or part of the streaming media, do not collaborate with other peers, may be unreliable, and may drop offline or come online during any given streaming session.

Peer-to-peer enterprise storage
TL;DR: A peer-to-peer storage system includes a storage coordinator that centrally manages distributed storage resources in accordance with system policies administered through a central administrative console as discussed by the authors, which is referred to collectively as storage nodes.
Exploiting network proximity in peer-to-peer overlay networks
TL;DR: This paper presents a comprehensive study of the network locality properties of a p2p overlay network, and results obtained via analysis and via simulation of two large-scale topology models indicate that it is possible to efficiently exploit network proximity in self-organizing p2P substrates.

Hybrid content delivery network (cdn) and peer-to-peer (p2p) network
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a hybrid approach, where CDN customer content may be delivered from the CDN edge network, from the P2P network, or from both networks.
