Introduction Practical System: PPTV PPStream UUSee Challenge: How to organize peers share content? Scheduling How to place right content on peers? Replication Objective is to minimize server load by optimizing movies replicated by different peers. 2012-5-10 CUHK
Related Work • Scheduling strategy and Movie Replication strategy are not analyzed separately. • Not covered • Topology: Any pair of peers can talk with each other. However, the number of simultaneously communicated peers is limited. • No Coding: Only a complete copy is replicated by a peer to simplify model complexity. CUHK
To simplify analysis, we assume: Homogeneous movies. Homogeneous peers. (Same upload capacity & storage) Total peers’ uplink capacity is equal to total demand. View Upload Decoupling. No start-up delay, buffer is not considered Assumption 2014/9/23 CUHK
Closed queuing network model N users, continuously watching movies. Select a movie, watch for a random period. After viewing a movie, select another movie based on transition probability matrix. By solving a fixed point equation, derive stationary popularity of movies. User Behavior Model Relative popularity: for movie j and N users continuously generate N viewing requests The peer population to view movie j follows Binomial Distribution. [D. Wu et al, Infocom’09 best paper] 2014/9/23 CUHK
Movie Popularity [N. Venkatasubramanian et al, ICDCS 97] is a parameter in the range [0.271, 1]. is a key parameter. Solution: Derive bound of server load to ignore the effect of Θ without considering long tail. Zipf distribution is used for movie popularity. All movies are ranked by descending order of popularity. 2014/9/23 CUHK
Formulation Xj is the random variable to denote the bandwidth received by peers watching movie j from P2P system. Xj is determined by request scheduling strategy and replication strategy. Qiis the set of movies replicated by peer i. L is the storage size of each peer. 2014/9/23 CUHK The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Request Scheduling Strategy Fixed BW allocation(FBA) • Fair Sharing 2014/9/23 CUHK
FBA It is easy to calculate the bandwidth allocated to a particular movie. Replication strategy: Proportional (to popularity) in homogeneous network. [D. Wu et al, Infocom mini 09] A virtual super server can be used to derive average server load, as the figure shows. 2014/9/23 CUHK
Proportional to movie popularity. Binomial Distribution FBA Cont. Server load is: CUHK
PFS and FSFD Both of perfect fair sharing (PFS) and fair sharing with fixed degree (FSFD) are special cases of FS PFS When a peer wants to stream movie j, it sends out sub-requests to all peers storing movie j to fetch parts of that movie. When serving other peers, a peer treats all sub-requests the same. FSFD When a peer wants to stream a movie j, it sends out sub-requests to exactly y peers who store movie j. 2014/9/23 CUHK
The distribution of Xj(i) is: PFS We use Poisson distribution as an approximation of Binomial distribution Received sub-requests by peer i in PFS is: Xj(i) is the random variable to denote the BW received by sending a sub-request to peer i for movie j. • We can derive the expected value and variance of Xj(i) CUHK
The variance of Xj The correlation determines total variance. PFS Cont. It is very complicated to get the distribution of Xj The distribution of Xj(i) depends on the number of sub-requests received by peer i. The number of sub-requests received by peer i depends on Qi CUHK
PFS Worst Case Cluster 1 store movie 1, 2,..L Cluster 1 store movie L+1,L+2,..2L Cluster L store movie K-L+1,..K Correlation is equal to 1 means that peers form K/L clusters. In each cluster, all peers store the same movie set. The movie set is random selected from the whole movie set. The received requests is the same for all peers in the same clusters. The behavior of a cluster is like a super server. The server load can be derived exactly. CUHK
PFS Best Case The upper bound is achieved when all peers have the same load λi and the bandwidth from different peers is independent. Xj(i)s are independent identical distributed for different i. Normal distribution is used as approximation of Xj. The required server load to support one peer is: The total serever load is: CUHK
Initialization To minimize correlation To balance bandwidth allocation Random Load Balancing Algorithm Bj = E[Xj] CUHK
FSFD • Each peer sends out exactly y sub-requests to randomly selected peers replicating target movie. • Similar to PFS, the received BW from one sub-request is: Proportional replication strategy achieves the balanced bandwidth allocation since λi =y [J. Wu et al, Infocom mini 2009] [K. Suh et al, JSAC 2007] CUHK
FSFD Worst Case Cluster 1 store movie 1, 2,..L Cluster 1 store movie L+1,L+2,..2L Cluster L store movie K-L+1,..K Here, the difference from PFS is that the each peer sends only y sub-requests instead of sending sub-requests to all peers. The received requests is perfect correlated for all peers in the same clusters. The behavior of a cluster is like a super server. The server load can be derived exactly. CUHK
FBA, PFS vs FSFD H = NL/K, which is the average storage resource. CUHK
Balanced BW allocation, equivalent to E[Xj] = 1 FSBD • When a peer wants to stream a movie j, it sends out at most Y sub-requests to random selected peers who store movie j. Nk is the expected peer population to view movie k. CUHK
Type II Type II Type I FSBD Worst Case • The worst case is similar to the worst case of PFS. But there are two type clusters. • In type I cluster: y = Y, similar to FSFD. • In type II cluster: y = No. of Peers, similar to PFS. An example with Y = 3 CUHK
Type II Type I FSBD Cont. Ri is the peer population of cluster i. B is maximized whenγ = 1 CUHK

Background For P2P, helper no. = peer no. CUHK

To simplify analysis, we assume: Perfect View Upload Decoupling. Random Selected Enough Neighbors. Limited Downloading. No Encoding or Decoding Overhead. Discrete time slot. Model & Assumption 2014/9/23 2014/9/23 CUHK

Main Result Proposition 1: In a P2P system with perfect view-upload decoupling, the Greedy strategy is always the optimal strategy to maximize p(n, d). Proposition 2: For two coding schemes using Greedy strategy with block size d1and d2, if d1< d2and d2is divisible by d1, the streaming cost for coding scheme d2is smaller than that for d1. It is a tradeoff between streaming cost and movie replication cost. CUHK
Simulation Helpers are assumed to have stored necessary encoded chunks. Streaming cost decreases with d CUHK
Simulation Cont. A scenario with new movie. No helper replicates the new movie. • Two ways for new movie replication: • Pushed from server. • Distributed among helpers. CUHK
Conclusion 2014/9/23 We use a new approach toanalyze three kinds of request scheduling strategies. Real-world systems is likely to be in between fair sharing (with some fixed degree) and perfect fair sharing. Therefore, we propose a novel FSBD model with varying out-degree. This allows us to illustrate the effect of out-degree in request scheduling. We use a simple mean field stochastic model to analyze the benefits by adopting coding for movie replication. CUHK
