Abstract

Overlay networks have been an active area of research for the past few years. The control overhead and the recovery from failure are the two important issues in the topology aware embedded overlay networks. In this research, we have introduced an enhanced version of the NICE protocol, called resilient NICE (R-NICE) that reduces the control overhead significantly. Furthermore, by saving the join path for an end host, the time and overhead of rejoining for isolated nodes have also been reduced. This will cause the clusters and consequently the overall network to become more stable and the effect of a node failure become localized. Our experimental results have confirmed the superior performance of R-NICE in comparison to NICE in terms of control overhead and recovery from failure.
