Distributed Resource Discovery- [Harcol-Balter, Leighton, Lewin 1999] (“Names Dropper” protocol) Licensed to AKAMAI, a leading Web caching provider The resource discovery task: the set of servers changes Find the current set (towards deciding which Akamai server to assign to each user)
Akamai servers need to learn how to reach each other via the Internet(towards deciding which Akamai server is “close” to the user). user CNN Internet AkamaiServer
Think Distributed a pointer used by the algorithm Mr. and Ms. B 132.12.16.64 IP street Interland A? A B a pointer used by the algorithm (one per node, initially pointing at the node itself) A Address “known” to Node A (“knowledge graph”)

Algorithm Actions C D A C B • Node A learns C’s addr. From B, • thus, directed edge (A C) is added to knowledge graph.
Algorithm Actions C D A C B • Node A learns C’s addr. From B, • thus, directed edge (A C) is added to knowledge graph. (2) Node D who knows of C, change PTR to point at C, thus, pointer graph changes. D

Algorithm’s result pointers form star, knowledge graph is strongly connected, Plus, possibly, additional links (possibly clique) .

A Algorithm: An Example of a Techniquedifferent than [SV82](weakly connected directed graph) Without an additional technique, may take (n) time: Worst case (only A is active, its star grows by 1 per phase): Phase 1
A (weakly connected diagraph) Without an additional technique, may take (n) time: Worst case (only A is active, its star grows by 1 per phase): phase 2
A (weakly connected diagraph) Without an additional technique, may take (n) time: Worst case (only A is active, its star grows by 1 per phase): phase n-1
A (weakly connected diagraph) Prevent (n) time, and still do not send too many messages: i Idea: star root A picks 2 neighbors (not just 1) in phase i. (In phaseithere areonly n/2 stars) i Example: i=2 2 =4 i
i Idea: A picks 2 neighbors (not just 1) in phase i. A (weakly connected diagraph) Prevent (n) time: Some delicate points: resolving collisions, mixed topologies prove convergence in O(log n) phases
Correctness 200 3 7 50 No connection No cycle 30 14 Lemma: No cycles are created (hook on smaller + non-star does not connect) Assured by a new technique: 37 Possible because of Weak connectivity!! Lemma: always some active star
Complexity Two kinds of progress in each phase: • A tall tree gets shallower by a constant factor. (2) Active star roots merge. Obstacles: • # of star trees may grow because of (1) • Trees may get taller because of(2) But (with the right combination) there is a progress in the combination.
Conclusion • improved complexity in all measures (verifies • [HLL99] conjecture, forecasting a simple algorithm • with these complexities). • Deterministic. • Terminates (answers an open problem of Lipton). • Further research • Adaptive algorithms (vs. “one shot”) • Lower bounds? (in [CGK95] O(n) msgs for • undirected case).
