Abstract
Distributed Virtual Environments (DVEs) have grown popular in various fields of application. Apart from providing great collaborational opportunities in an immersive setting, large-scale DVEs pose severe scalability challenges. Although P2P approaches have proven to be effective for tackling many of these issues, still load delay problems remain in regions with high object or avatar density. In this article we present and evaluate a hoarding approach that is suitable to minimize such delays in P2P-based DVEs with a real-time distribution of dynamic data. The prediction of what data shall be hoarded is based on an epidemic aggregation algorithm working solely with local knowledge. Evaluation results that have been obtained using a DVE simulation environment will be presented.
