Design and Use of Managed Overlay Networks

As the role of the Internet has been steadily gaining in importance,
overlays are increasingly being used to provide new services and to
deploy older ones. Some of the services for which overlays have been
proposed include multicast, quality of service (QoS), search, and
resilient networks. The use of overlays, in turn, has led to more
interest in improving their performance. The performance of an overlay
network depends significantly on how the network is structured, i.e.,
the placement of the nodes in the underlying network topology, the
links between the overlay nodes and the access links of these nodes.
This thesis focuses on algorithms for improving the performance of
