Findings

Reduced download duration observed in simulations.

Lower network traffic achieved with the proposed approach.

Enhanced content distribution efficiency in hybrid networks.

Abstract

The growing online traffic that is bringing the infrastructure to its limits induces an urgent demand for an efficient content delivery model. Capitalizing social networks and using advanced delivery networks potentially can help to solve this problem. However, due to the complex nature of the involved networks such a model is difficult to assess. In this paper we use a simulative approach to analyze how the SatTorrent P2P protocol supported by social networks can improve content delivery by means of reduced download duration and traffic.
