- Wired Geometric Routing
- Routing substrates for overlay networks are an important building block for large distributed applications. Many existing substrates are based on a random identifier space and therefore do not respect node locality when routing data. This can lead to lower performance for locality-sensitive applications, such as web caching, distributed gaming, and...
