Abstract

A named object/player (such as a node or service) demands to be discoverable by the rest of the network. A discovery scheme provides such a service to the players. The discovery level is a measure of “how discoverable” a player is by the rest of the network. This is “how easy” it is for the network to discover the player not the opposite. The performance of discovery, or the discovery level, could significantly affect the player’s business model especially in time-sensitive application contexts. This chapter is an exercise in the design of differentiated discovery services, which provide different service levels to different sets of players. We formally define and motivate differentiated discovery and we present a proof-of-concept architecture.

Notes

  1. 1.

    When the set of discovery levels is discrete, a level becomes a “class” of service.

  2. 2.

    This information is used for optimal stretch-1 routing based on locators (topological labels).
