This talk is focused on content distribution in community scenarios based on social interaction. Firstly, I will start analyzing the characteristics of data transfer based on swarms. Secondly I will introduce the factor of social similarities between peers. The result of this two perspectives will follow with the presentation of Swarmella, a framework for content distribution using delivery techniques based on swarming and social aspects. These functionalities are exploited by the Ranking Algorithm that manage the information a peer can collect from its neighbors found on each swarm and it is used to create the structure of the communities. We have evaluated SwarmTella through simulation and compared it with Gnutella. Our results show that SwarmTella clearly outperforms Gnutella, increasing the probability of success in the search procedure and reducing the bandwidth utilization in the search procedure. The current work is to extend SwarmTella in a delay-tolerant environments and validate it with real traces scenarios.

This is a joint work with Ruben Cuevas (UC3M)
