Abstract

In this paper, a novel model named MultiServ is proposed to alleviate the congestion and to provide better quality of service for end-host using overlay network. In MultiServ, a special overlay is built so that end-host and its neighbors can cooperatively transmit data efficiently. Meanwhile, a joint congest control scheme is proposed for multiple path data transmission. As a result, the traffic in the underlying network can be balanced and smoothed and the congestion can be alleviated or avoided. This provides a promising solution for application with demand of good quality of service for throughput sensitive transmissions.
