题 目 Programming Overlay Networks with Overlay Sockets Programming Overlay Networks with Overlay Sockets The emergence of application-layer overlay networks has inspired the development of new network services and applications. Research on overlay net-workshas focused on the design of protocols to maintain and forward data in an overlay network, however, less attention has been given to the software development process of building application programs in such an environment. Clearly,the complexity of overlay network protocols calls for suitable application programming interfaces (APIs) and abstractions that do not require detailed knowledge of the overlay protocol, and, thereby, simplify the task of the application programmer. In this paper, we present the concept of an overlay socket as a new programming abstraction that serves as the end point of communication in an overlay network. The overlay socket provides a socket-based API that is independent of the chosen overlay topology, and can be configured to work for different overlay topologies. The overlay socket can support application data transfer over TCP, UDP, or other transport protocols. This paper describes the design of the overlay socket and discusses API and configuration options. 1 Introduction Application-layer overlay networks [5, 9, 13, 17] provide flexible platforms for develop-ing new network services [1, 10, 11, 14, 18–20] without requiring changes to the network-layer infrastructure. Members of an overlay network, which can be hosts, routers, servers, or applications, organize themselves to form a logical network topology, and commu-nicate only with their respective neighbors in the overlay topology. A member of an overlay network sends and receives application data, and also forwards data intended for other members. This paper addresses application development in overlay networks. We use the term overlay network programming to refer to the software development process of building application
