When the Squirrel peer-to-peer web caching service was evaluated by simulation, 4.11 hops were required on average to route a request for a cache entry when simulating the Redmond traffic, whereas only 1.8 were required for the Cambridge traffic. Explain this and show that it supports the theoretical performance claimed for Pastry.

What will be an ideal response?


The answer is simply that the number of routing hops required in Pastry is O(log N) where N is the number of nodes participating in the overlay. The Cambridge data was based on 105 nodes whereas the Redmond data inclided 36000 nodes. The simulated performance is almost exactly the same as the theoretical: ln(36000)/ ln(105) = 2.26; 4.11/1.8 = 2.28.
