Question:

Consider distrihuting a file of F bits to N peers using a P2P architecture. Assume a fluid model. For simplicity assume that dmin is very large, so that peer download bandwidth is never a bottleneck.
a. Suppose that μs ≤ (us + μ1 + ... + uN)/N. Specify a scheme that has a time of F/us.
b. Suppose that μs, ≥ (us + ul + ... + uN)/N. Specify a scheme that has a time of NF/(us, + μ1 + ... + UN)'
c. Conclude that the minimum time is in general given by max {F/us,NF/(us +ul + ... + uN)}.
Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
