Title:	Dynamic Routing using an Overlay Network of Relays
Author:	Prudich, Philip
Description:	The goal of resource management in a distributed system is to appropriate the available resources in such a way as to meet the requirements of the individual applications and system as a whole. In addition to commonly managed resources such as CPU cycles or memory usage, network resources are a critical part of this goal. Current attempts at network resource management do not provide direct control of the route to the resource manager. The solution that we propose is an overlay network of relays. Traffic may be redirected among these relays in order to provide a network resource manager the means to control routing. Two types of relays are presented. The first operates in kernel-space, providing a more efficient relay but requiring higher system privileges. The second operates in user-space, allowing for deployment on systems without administrative access. This user-space relay, however, has a greater impact on performance. We discuss the design, implementation, and performance analysis of the system, as well as the costs associated with using it.
