Resource-efficient software delivery using volunteer assistance

Published: 10 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

We propose to apply Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology to resolve the scalability problems observed in current techniques used to provide management and maintenance services in enterprise networks. We aim to create a content delivery infrastructure that can be used by managed services organizations, on the basis of donated servers, to help download and maintain software packages.
