Three commonly used techniques to help discover high quality paths

experiments, we present the first systematic exploration of the
tradeoffs of combinations of these approaches, quantifying the effects
of each of these three techniques. We identify several key results:
One is that per-hop retransmissions (ARQ) is a necessary addition to
any other mechanism if reliable data delivery is a goal. Additional
interactions between the services are more subtle. First, in a
multi-hop network, either blacklisting or reliability metrics like ETX
can provide consistent high-reliability paths when added to ARQ.
Second, at higher deployment densities, blacklisting has a lower
routing overhead than ETX. But at lower densities, blacklisting
becomes less stable as the network partitions. These results are
consistent across both simulation and testbed experiments. We
conclude that ETX with retransmissions is the best choice in general,
but that blacklisting may be worth considering at higher densities,

abstract = {Distributed hash table (DHT) systems are an important class
of peer-to-peer routing infrastructures. They enable
scalable wide-area storage and retrieval of information,
and will support the rapid development of a wide variety of
Internet-scale applications ranging from naming systems and
file systems to application-layer multicast. DHT systems
essentially build an overlay network, but a path on the
overlay between any two nodes can be significantly
different from the unicast path between those two nodes on
the underlying network. As such, the lookup latency in
these systems can be quite high and can adversely impact
the performance of applications built on top of such
systems.
In this paper, we discuss a random sampling technique that
incrementally improves lookup latency in DHT systems. Our
sampling can be implemented using information gleaned from
lookups traversing the overlay network. For this reason, we
call our approach em lookup-parasitic random sampling (LPRS).
LPRS is fast, incurs little network overhead, and requires
relatively few modifications to existing DHT systems.
For idealized versions of DHT systems like Chord, Tapestry
and Pastry, we analytically prove that LPRS can result in
lookup latencies proportional to the diameter of the
network, provided the underlying physical topology has a
power-law latency expansion. We then validate this analysis
by implementing LPRS in the Chord simulator. Our
simulations reveal that LPRS-Chord exhibits a qualitatively
better latency scaling behavior relative to unmodified
Chord.
Finally, we provide evidence which suggests that the
Internet router-level topology resembles power-law latency
expansion. This finding implies that LPRS has significant
practical applicability as a general latency reduction
technique for many DHT systems. This finding is also of
independent interest since it might inform the design of
latency-sensitive topology models for the Internet.},
