Utility Maximization in P2P Systems: Optimizing peer-to-peer multi-party video conferencing applications

Product DescriptionReal-time peer-to-peer applications such as video conferencing have witnessed unprecedented growth but their design today does not strive to achieve any systematic optimization of the total value to all peers under a resource sharing constraint. We study the problem of maximizing aggregate application-specific utility of peers constrained by uplink capacities. We develop distributed algorithms for multi-tree routing and show exponentially-fast convergence to the opt...
