Abstract
The access to instrumentation and support of real-time requirements were already envisaged, in terms of time-sensitive control of devices and remote communications, in the original grid vision. Nevertheless, the integration of devices concretely rises the problem of supporting such operations with proper network requirements. On the other hand, as an evolution of peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing applications, overlay-based networks can be utilized to exploit application level strategies to overcome limitations imposed by the underlying network infrastructure, e.g., the lack of multicast support.
In this perspective, the chapter introduces an overlay Content Distribution Network (CDN) able to sustain the real-time delivery of data streams to support interactive Grid applications. To better use resources the control and optimization of the CDN are performed through a model predictive control scheme. Simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
