Understanding the characteristics of the Internet delay sp ace (i.e., the all-pairs set of static round-trip propagation delays a mong edge networks in the Internet) is important for the design of global-scale distributed systems. For instance, algorithms used in over lay net- works are often sensitive to violations of the triangle ineq uality and to the growth properties within the Internet delay space. Si nce de- signers of distributed systems often rely on simulation and emula- tion to study design alternatives, they need a realistic mod el of the Internet delay space. Our analysis shows that existing models do not adequately cap- ture important properties of the Internet delay space. In th is paper, we analyze measured delays among thousands of Internet edge net- works and identify key properties that are important for distributed system design. Furthermore, we derive a simple model of the In- ternet delay space based on our analytical findings. This mod el preserves the relevant metrics far better than existing models, al- lows for a compact representation, and can be used to synthesize delay data for simulations and emulations at a scale where direct measurement and storage are impractical. |
