An autonomous decentralized community overly network division and integration technology for achieving timeliness

Autonomous community overlay network (CON) is a decentralized architecture that forms a community of individual end-users (community members) having the same interests and demands in somewhere, at specified time. It enables them to mutually cooperate and share information without loading up any single node excessively. For flexible and efficient communication among community members, an autonomous multilayer community overlay network (multilayer-CON) is proposed. This paper illustrates an approach to reconstruct the multilayer-CON on a top of a dynamic, unpredictable, and heterogeneous Internet environment by divide and integrate sub-communities. Furthermore, it evaluates the performance of the community communication over the multilayer-CON and gives evidence of the existence of the tradeoff relationship between the communication delay and construction overhead.
